Description I've actually had this tutorial sitting in a folder on my computer for months, nearly done. I decided to finally finish it, because I'm trying to go through and finish a bunch of art I have sitting around. That does mean that it's out of date with my style — there are some significant differences to how I paint now. However, I think it's useful anyway, and it was so close to finished that it seemed like a waste not to post it.

So, without further ado, have at it!

If you do use this, please let me know and send me a link to the piece — I'd love to see it! You don't have to of course, but it would be nice. :]

I am going to try this tutorial out... at some point...
May I ask if you use a tablet?

xKhamsinStables In reply to Beejaygee1998-x-x [2012-08-06 22:56:10 +0000 UTC]

I use a Wacom Bamboo fun. It's a nice enough little tablet, although mine is quite thoroughly beaten up. I'd like to see a link to what you draw if you do end up using it. :]

Beejaygee1998-x-x In reply to xKhamsinStables [2012-08-08 09:37:23 +0000 UTC]

I will be sure to post it, although it might be lacking a mane/tail! I dont have a tablet and struggle with them XD

xKhamsinStables In reply to Beejaygee1998-x-x [2012-08-09 00:36:52 +0000 UTC]

Manes and tails are my least favourite part of drawing horses! That's part of why my Tekes have roached manes. ;]

Beejaygee1998-x-x In reply to xKhamsinStables [2012-08-09 09:32:54 +0000 UTC]

I completely agree, they are so hard to get right! Especially when using a laptop trackpad XD

xKhamsinStables In reply to Star4101 [2012-07-30 05:55:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. With practice you'll get it closer to where you want it to be. Keep in mind though that shininess is often over-valued in HARPG. I'm guilty of drawing lots of shiny horses myself. : P
