I'm learning to love Photoshop. There are things about it that are still extremely complicated and difficult to use and remember, but the painting side of it . . . That's why I'm in school.



I love the layout, the colors and texture of this. The shadows and the look on the stallion's face help create an air of nervousness, of vulnerability.



The only critique I have is to watch the way you use the legs. Even in the animation of My Little Pony, there is usually one leg in motion while the other three are on the ground. And when a horse is trotting, they never lift both legs on one side. Study videos of horses in motion on YouTube and browse as many images as you can on Google. I still do. I've improved a lot with my equine anatomy but there is always something I'm struggling with so I use references.



That said, I love the image. Did you create new brushes for this or find some online? I'm still limited in the types or amount of brushes I have.
