Description
Portrait of Tango, a really beautiful quarter horse x arabianHe has such a beautiful long mane, I wish I had opted to add it, but I was liking how the neck was turning out in this picture.
I opted to recreate the background of the picture (with less distractions) rather than create a new one. I thought it looked pretty classy
I just wish I was better at drawing people (didn't even try hahah)I've been experimenting with a new way to add highlights, trying to give the look of a glossy coat to my pictures and this is the first picture I really feel like I had any success on. So I'm in a good mood right now.
Here is the original image I worked from: [link]
To everyone who is sick of seeing me post horse images, I promise I will have some canine pics up this week/next week along with many more horses! lol
