I'm beginning to start to really paint horses now, instead of using the burning and dodging tools which is way too easy for me.
I still haven't got a good rhythm even though my recent art Akhal Teke: [link] was painted.
I did the highlights first then the darker bits, which drove me carr-razy.

So, if you have any good and proper horse painting tutorials, I would much appreciate it. Even Mane and Tail tuts, my efforts are abominable. I hate doing manes and tails.

kthnx..;)

sit on my shoulder and sing to me.

Tell me tales of far and near,
dazzling stories of courage and fear,
vicious scripts from across the sea-
sit on my shoulder and sing to me~

With lots of practice and looking at tutorials until you find the best one for you. Seriously, lots of practice and motivation. I didn't think I'd get this far but I want to go further! If you need any help or tips, message me. I'll be glad to help :)

I was like that before I started. I thought I'd never *ever* be able to do realistic painting. I'm getting there, just takes persistence. :) Find the best tutorial for you and you should learn some techniques. I'm still searching to better mine but i'm happy with my progress. :) So just keep at it and look at how other people paint through tutorials.
