Description Point Commission for of her gorgeous stallion Towa

After seeing the `Crickatoo goat submission I decided to try this tutorial out: [link] . This is my first time painting it all in black and white and then layering the colors on top. I must say it was far easier to look at the values because I'm very good with black and white, but I struggle with color. I'm glad I tried this new way out, but I'm not sure which one is faster. I had a ton of layers when I was done with this and I prefer working with fewer layers.

Anyways enjoy and I hope this cheers you up Towa and I had so much fun drawing this for you. Thank you for being patient.

Well done!

Thanks Cricket. Somehow it does seem easier to color first in grayscale and then add colors on top of that.

Thank you. I suppose it really helped to start this off in black and white and overlay color on top. This is now one of my favorites.

Mmmm I watched a lot of tutorials where people make their digital paintings first competely in b/w only and then only add colours in one of the last steps.. I don't really like the thought of doing it like that, I'd rather start with the colours right away I guess

Yeah I always start with color first, but I decided to try that method since I struggle with color. It works, bit I agree with you. It's more fun to start with color first.

I know this has turned into one of my favorites now just because of all the colors. Not to mention this is my first sunset I think.

It really is very colourful! And for your first sunset, you've painted it real well -- it almost looks as if it were out of a photograph!

Celleno In reply to LiberaEqua [2013-02-24 00:34:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I've done a few sunsets with oil paints, but never digitally so I'm happy the way it turned out here. This one has probably turned into one of my favorites now.

Towa is such a beautiful horse and you drew him wonderfully And man that background!
I just adore all the colours you've used especially with the sky and those red mountains!
The Sakura tree is also very pretty with all the little petals flying around, it adds such a nice touch
Amazing job on this one, it's very nice to see a big piece of art from you again!

Thank you. It did feel good to finish and post a new piece of art. And not to mention to do it in a completely different way than what I'm used to. I loved playing with the sky and the mountains.
