This is my tutorial on feathering, specifically for Vanners, requested by *SquirrelyTodd in return for a new Vanner design she gave me! (Who you will be meeting soon since now she legs are already sketched. She's featured in the tutorial)

I actually had fun putting this together. It's my first tutorial so be nice! I'm glad I started off with doing something simple like this instead of a full blown tutorial. I don' t think I'm up for that yet. But I hope this gives everyone some tips and helps you in your quest to draw feathered equines!

Hair Coloring Tutorials by other which I have learned from:
=DaneStables ' Mane and Tail Tutorial -This is closest to how I do it too.
*moodymand 's Grayscale Tutorial (part about hair is on the bottom)
*Aomori 's Horse Tail Tutorial
*katiecatapillar 's Video on mane Painting

And there are probably many more I've looked at through the year I've been doing digital art.

Horse Reference by MVP Vanners (I think-pretty sure)

I love the combination of thick and thin lines. I normally don't use lines but next time I do I will be trying this!!

Sassykatt1 [2011-05-17 05:20:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I know when i was getting into the feathered horses, i searched and searched dA but couldn't find a SINGLE tut on it ;-;

Too bad I don't have a tablet, but I can take this into account when I'm drawing. I don't do lines anymore >.< just lineless grayscale bases for me :/
