Description Prize for ~dhark-exile for guessing the third horse on the Mini Contest
for my FaBotW Project (Hungary/Gídran). Her unicorn character Shadow, who was an absolute pleasure to color, I must say.

Poses, poses, wonderful poses <3 I missed this, I truly did. Finally doing sketches I like and look forward to coloring them. Considering the amount of drawing/coloring I've done in the past few days, I now feel absolutely safe to say that awful art block is gone for good. And to think I was at a point where I just wanted to give up on this altogether D:

Unfortunately, I made a very bad placement choice on this, and nearly forgot to draw his horn >_> So I'm sorry it looks cluttered on the upper side. Oh, the joys of traditional art xD

Gah, tell me your pose secrets, woman This is beautiful, and that shading is gooorgeous. I, for one, don't think it looks cluttered at all, and the pink is a nice accent! Great work, as alwaysss

I... I think that was one of the things that contributed to my art block, the poses. My stubbornness on not using references, I got stuck doing the same thing over and over, now that I decided to go around browsing for stock and get inspiration for new poses/angles, I feel a lot better about sketching xD
It kind of does xD I almost couldn't fit the horn in there! And then the scanner decided to cut off the horn a little bit or make it so that you could see the edge of the paper, and I hate that, so there's a little bit of the point missing haha.
Thank you so much, beautiful

Haha that makes sense! I hate to admit I do the same thing, although I've been trying to break out of that horrible cycle. Loots and looots of references But I'm glad you're starting to feel better!
Ahaha now that I look I do kinda see it, but it's really not that bad at all; I definitely didn't notice it at first
Gaw, you're welcome, gorgeous!
