Description Art trade with ~royalgoldenhorse !

First off, Crits appreciated! I want one before my sub runs out. And I really need help with my backgrounds.

Blahh... this didn't turn out well. I wanted to practice my backgrounds, and this is what I got. I dislike it. I don't think it turned out well. The horse looks alright. But whatever...

I made Starstudded look sad because of her personality. How she just wants to find a mate. And I wanted to practice my expressions. Well I hope you like it!

Now to go work on Christmas gifts, and a commission that is kicking my butt!

Ohh what a lovely character (:
First off ill say he has a gorgeous design, i love the brown and pink and white together, a very nice mix. The scars could be a little "browner" though- and i say that in quotes because scars obviously are not brown, but pink. but scars are more light and brownish colored. And i cant really tell if that blue thing around her neck i supposed to be a marking, or a necklace.
if its a necklace, make sure you give it lines in the future, so it
pops off her neck more (:

but man, you have AMAZING shading skill. The softness and beauty of her every curve, especially on her shoulder and neck.
really, i'm extremely impressed by your shading abilities (:

As for the background, your ideas on technique are very good i can tell, youve wonderfully stayed away from grass brushes, and the lines on your trees look very nice. I think you really just need to add depth to everything. make dark dark points, are very very light points. as you go farther toward the light source, make sure it gets lighter (: If you want i can direct you to a few really good tutorials that would help you in the areas you need. just remember to add lots of depth,
and then lots of texure to trees and leaves.

You have an over all really good sense of horse anatomy,
and the expression is lovely, i can relate to her feelings,
and see them clearly on the drawing. Keep up the good work!

Jeez. Sorry for taking this long to reply!

But thank you so much for the crit! I really tried on this one! maybe a little too hard?

And for the horse, I simply followed the markings how ~royalgoldenhorse has them.

And also, those tutorials would be really nice if your still willing!

I've never written a crit before, so when I saw you wanted one here I figured i;d give it a shot! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
First off, I wanna say this is absolutely lovely! I love the colors of the forest against the horse's coat and the pose with the head down c:
Your anatomy is actually very good! I don't see much to improe on, except for a couple small things. The horse's belly is a tad bit too thick in comparison with her neck, it makes her look preggers! xD I know shes not, but shes just a little plump is all. I would try thinning her stomach a little bit, or thickening her neck c:
Also, on her rump where her tail ends, it looks a little awkward how the tail starts down low. I think you should keep her rump rounded instead of sticking it out like that, and making the tail start where that bump on her rump is, if you get what im saying!! xD
One last thing~ the two legs touching the ground are uneven, I would try to make them seem like their at the same level, because theres a bit of an illusion here that her left hind leg is almost on the same level as her front left leg.. you know what i mean?

Anyways, that all I have to say! Overall I'd say very nice job here, your anatomy is WONDERFUL, just a few mistakes ^^ I also adore your shading although i would try adding a little more depth with highlights =] I also adore the texture you used, its very unique e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/>

All in all, great job! I hope this was useful! (:

I haven't noticed the legs until now. O.o
Thanks for pointing that out. I will pay closer attention next time.

But yeah, she's a little off. I know her belly is big. xD

But yeah, thanks for this. I will try next time with the tail.

nice, but maybe the neck could be a little longer and wider... maybe less unrealistic colors...

Alethea14 In reply to wolfwundur [2011-11-26 19:19:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

And yeah I noticed the neck, too.

And the character is not mine. She belongs to ~royalgoldenhorse I didn't create her. I just copied her markings and colors.
