Description
Prize for ~dhark-exile for guessing the third horse on the Mini Contestfor 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

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
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!
