Description
*PLEASE FULLVIEW!*Just so you know, I did this picture entirely on the fingerpad of my laptop. This was my first ever attempt at airbrushing ;D It's a picture of my partner, Shaun's, horse 'Cracka' aka 'She's a Cracka'. She got sold, and he was missing her, so I thought I'd do a picture for him. I think I did alright, for my first go.. I know there are a LOT of problems with this picture; I kind of got lazy halfway up the head and rushed the neck
The ears are slightly shorter than the reference picture, and are/almost cut off because I did this picture in Gimp, and couldn't draw outside the layer, even after moving it down o_O I don't know, don't ask me what I did, lol.
Done in Gimp, with the fingerpad on my laptop.
Approx. 4 - 5 hours (but only because I spent 3-odd hours on the nose, trying to get it perfect!)
Please, comment, critique, etc.! Feedback and tips much appreciated!

Holy shiz! Only with touchpad? This is super amazing, no joke. Most people can't even do that with their tablets xD

Unfortunately neither could I at the time xD The pressure sensor thing in my tablet wouldn't work, not in Photoshop OR Gimp, so I used the touchpad. Funnily enough, I never used pressure sensitivity at all anyway XDD
Thankyou < 333 :3
I'm off to see your gallery now ;D

Wow, she's gorgeous
Eye seems a bit misplaced, though?
Meybe it's just me, though
Nose is brilliant~

Thanks for commenting! And thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind for my next piece. Eyes and ears are my absoloute worst xD

The nose _is_ perfect. But as you gave the freedom to critique... The neck could be a bit larger. If it wouldn't be that thin I'd seriously think this is a real photo!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for commenting! ;D The reason the neck is quite thin is because she was quite a big horse, and had quite a long neck. It's about the same width as in the reference photo, but thanks for your input!
