Description THIS IS NOT STOCK

Guess who got a tabet! I have had to revise stupidly hard for exams recently and so have not been able to have a decent go as of yet. This is just the result of a couple of hours from over the past month. I'm excited about having a go at this manipulation stuff!


Ok ok, what did I do... HER-uge exam stress has made begin to think about the difficulty to trust yourself. I have started to realise that sometimes you need to simply have faith in yourself in order to succed hence the title 'Taking that leap.'

I used my beach stock and rotated it to make a cliff. (Yes I obviously don't have enough of that already!!!) I tilted the head of the horse, painted an eye - though it is not very obvious at this size , a mane and a tail which took me ages to work out how to do.

Hurm, with the background I had to burn a large amount of it and I painted parts of the clouds orange. I also added some 'yellow / orange' highlights on the horse. In photoshop you can see it better but I have also painted some flying embers which haven't uploaded very well.

I just love the theme of it. I don't think I've seen anything else like it.
You did a very good job with the details and the fire turned out really well.

I think the mane looks fantastic! Gives the horse sort of a sweaty look. Awesome job!
