@OndowaStables thank you! I’m proud of myself

Omg! You are amazing!
I can't draw on the computer but I draw by hand O:-)
If it's ok I can try and see if I can share it here if you want to see what I'm working on at the moment?
Its my first collection ever and it's the star signs (don't know the right word for it).
First up is Capricorn :x

Really pretty work. :)

Liver Chestnut Riding Horse

Thank you @WolfgangPride that means a lot

You guys are really talented.

@Hiddengenetics, could I talk to you about a profile picture for my Mesa account?

Ooooh! Can you PM me, too about a profile picture? I know the horse I want, if possible.

A new Horse :)

@RoseFlute not for my art no

Here is a quick crash course @williams005:
1) Any Photoshopping Application: I use photoshop
2) Use Royalty Free images: you cannot just use something that has come straight off google it could have copyrights and you can get in big trouble
3) Find a horse you like and make an outline, follow its silhouette and then line the important parts: leg tendons, knees, hooves, nose, ears and eyes
4) Now with that brand new outline you’ve made colour the horse in remembering shadows, highlight, fur, where is your light coming from? What colours would be reflecting on the horse?
5) with the background I choose a background and just repaint over it and make it look a little more fake then because my lines look terrible I blur the background down leaving the foreground pretty much original slightly blurinf it also, and re drawing over it to make the horse look like it’s there
6) I also use a lot of stock images (like the green smoke in the last photo posted) and alter it until it fits in with my photo

The last photo I made took about 13 hours and 67 layers. However I’m still learning and am quite new to the whole Equine Manipulation (is it’s term) I have a lot to learn so most of that 13 hours was learning how to blend something, using references to draw something. Getting my boyfriends opinion as he can’t see all the tiny mistakes I made

Mystic Nebula

Love them!
