Description Phew

This took some time. It was a major jolt of inspiration that I just had to capture straight away. I found a wonderful picture of a horse and used the pose to draw a lineart. Then I just had to colour it. And it was kinda an attempt at a sabino kinda thing, but I don't know if I did it right.

Anyway. His name is Arcadia, and yes he is a new character now ^^

I'm going to use this picture in my art portfolio that I'm showing to tattooists =3

Time taken: 4 hours
Tools Used: Photoshop CS3, Aiptek Tablet

Wow, he's beautiful. And so muscular! I love his pose, the position of his front legs looks like there is something just outside the picture he is pawing at. I think sabino normally appears on the belly instead of the back, but he looks great this way and I love how you got the speckled edge of the markings.

Yeah I guess it's like a "put 'em up" pose xD

I've never in my life tried drawing sabino, nor heard of it. Round here the horses are pretty plain >.< bay, black, chestnut, grey, that's about it. I looked a few pictures and I saw a few that had markings similar to this. I guess it's like a paint/sabino kinda thing xD
