The eye color isn't that of your average horse, but I was basing this off a palomino stud I know. He's got amber eyes, a stripe down his face, and does have red-gold highlighted mane and steel dust jowls. This representation of him is a bit refined (it looks more like a mare than a stud; a Morgan than a QH), but perhaps a future revision will be more accurate.
The scanner didn't quite capture the true color, and the muzzle is shaped a little oddly when you think about it, but I'm pleased with this horse. I'm still awful at drawing whole horses, but at least I can do the heads. :)
Well done horse head. With a fine brush and deeper blacks/browns, perhaps you can try putting lashes on the eyes. A technique called wash might help make the eye more liquid.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And, I've considered doing eyelashes have no clue how to make them look like actual eyelashes. :) Thank you for the suggestions, Karl!
DeleteWow! You are a home-schooled teen and a wiki admin? Very not bad. I've only done minor edits and fact checks on predominantly military articles but nowhere near as prolifically as you. Hat's off to you.
DeleteAwww, thanks :D And, cool! Which wiki were you editing? If you join wikiHow I can show you around the site and stuff. :)
DeleteI am a wandering editor in Wikipedia, the best thing since the invention of the printing press. I've seen wikiHow and I find it very useful. However, I find the prospect of joining it quite daunting. For example, there is quite a number articles about watercolors already posted there. Looking for something unique to discuss (something which I know intimately) will be a challenge. But alright, I'll take you up on your offer when I summon the courage to write something. Thank you, Ms Zita.
ReplyDeleteAh, okay! And, wikiHow's pretty easy :) There's lots that can be done without writing an actual article. You said you do minor edits and fact checks on articles? There are a lot of wikiHow articles that could use that.
DeleteAnyway, yeah! Just let me know if you join. My username's IsabelleZita
