Re: Roping Horse (wip)

This is going to be something! Great start. What size is it? Does it really fill the board like it is shown?

I would really love to see a closeup of how you do those short hairs on the coat. It's looking sensational!

Re: Roping Horse (wip)

Thank you Mary, pinups and ARTMUTT.

Diana, this is done on a 11 X 14 board. I've included another photo to give you a better idea of the whole board.

Patrick, thank you and I've added a close up, I think it is bigger than real life though.

Ltaniea, thank you for your kind comments. The leather has been a lot of fun to do, maybe because it is turning out better than I thought it would.

I forgot to mention in the original post. The reference photo was taken by westerngirl.

Mark

This is looking great. I really like the dapple effect you've gotten on his coat and your attention to detail is excellent. Thanks for the close-up. This looks like it's going to be a really cool picture when finished.

Re: Roping Horse (wip)

Mark this is really gorgeous, your shading on the horse's coat is so realistic, love the dappling. I'm anxious to see more.
