Description Sometimes you think you can change.
You want to change but you can't.
Make a change that's too much to handle.
Just make sure it's right...
Don't change your mind too late.

Wow. I don't know what to say about this. Last night I had a real itch to make something but I didn't want to work on anything I had started already. I started browsing through the most popular horse stock images on deviantart to see if something caught my eye. Sure enough one did. I fell in love with this horse. So, this would be the first decent mane and tail that I've drawn. I made one before but it totally sucked. coughFloatOncough. Anyways, I feel so so so so so accomplished with this one. I am dying to see what you guys think of it. Don't be afraid to comment. I wanna know what you think! Plus I read all my comments.

This is super awesome, but if you're looking for critique, I have some. Some people don't like critique, though, so I'll keep it to myself unless you wanna hear what I think.

Regardless, it's an awesome pic, and I wish I was gifted by the gods of graphic design, but I'm an epic failure.

Oh no no I'm always up for critiques. I love them. And don't worry, it's just practice practice practice!

Then I begin! Haha.

Anyway, something is off about the mane and tail. It looks great, but I can't decide what it is. Maybe it's just that the style of the hair contrasts the horse's body so much - the hair is much sharper, if you will, more defined - while the body is more smudged and smoother.

Which brings me to the body. It seems a little over-smudged. Not to the point where it looks plastic, but it's like I can't see the shoulder and rump muscle lines. I don't know if you re-painted it and it's not smudged, at all, but it's what it seems like. It looks sorta painted. o.o Usually what I do when I smudge/paint something over again, is I'll duplicate my original layer, do my thing, then reduce the opacity on your second layer until it looks realistic. Maybe that'll help with the contrast between mane and body.

But really that's all I have. I'm honestly in no place to critique because I suck majorly, but it's probably the reason I pick those things out. o.o Anyway, it looks great, and keep practicing!

Thanks for the critique. I actually did fix what you were talking about with the muscles because someone else brought that up. I just have yet to update the new version. I'll do that...eventually.
