Description
Hehe, this has been very fun to do...a nice way to draw and yet still have fun doing so.Anyways, this character isn't mine. I designed her, but she belongs to . I had drawn her a while ago (remember the picture with the bleeding mare? ) which won in a contest, so she is now Chrisabells. Chris asked for a ref, so though it's been a long time since the contest, I finally drew one!
Enjoy!

Wow, she's fantastic (though a piggeh would've helped)!

A piggeh would not have helped! It probably would have eaten the flowers and scared away the fr0g and butterfly!
But thank you! 
Hehe, yes, I am a vandalizer of all sorts of things

A piggeh would have first picked the flowers for the pretty mare (piggehs are unaware of their species), and when she looked at the piggeh like it was crazy - THEN it would have eaten them...and the mushroom!
Aw, I can't eat it? But it's GREEN!
Do you vandalize other references?

Same here. Hmm... I wonder what roan on a buckskin/palomino horse would look like....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting thought..I have no idea! Overo's and roans are a good mix...don't know about buckskins/palominos though.

Maybe there is some genetical thing that makes them cancel each other out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe. I'm so curious now!

We have a old Palomino mare at the barn. Wjen we first got her in March, she had been living out at pasture for a long time, so her coat was very light and dull. She looked like a cremello!

Let me know what you find
Haha, I can just picture that xD She must have looked so darn cute!

Yeth. I called her "Snap Crackle Pop" because her hocks popped.
[link] I found some buckskin roans, but they look like grullas.
[link] This one looks more like an App
[link] Here is a good Palomino roan. Most of them look like weirdalated Perlinos.

Me, too. I found a random site that has all kinds of unusual colors, things I've never heard of like "pangarae" and "rabiacano" and "Bend-Orr spots" [link]

Hah, um well, I put it all on one layer (for the coloring at least). I just put one collor on at a time, and have areas of focus where one color will stand out more. I hope that makes sense...

No, I understand. Do you use the dodge and/or burn tools at all? You don't use a tablet, correct?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats good
No, I don't use those tools at all - just the paint brush at 23% opacity on hard round.
I do use a tablet
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow... amazing. So, as far as layering goes, do you start off with a solid base color? 
And how is working with a tablet? Is it difficult to master drawing with? I'm strongly thinking of investing in one, considering all of the other graphic design I do, besides DA stuff.

No, I never start with a solid base color ...I used to, but I like my style better without doing that. I just choose what owuld have been the base color and do a light almost transparent coat on a section. Then I get a ton of colors and start layering them on top, one after the other until I get a look I like 
I love working with a tablet. I used to have just MS paint and a mouse, and the jump to adobe and tablets is amazing. I can have so much more detail and control. I strongly suggest getting one!
