Hi Green

I think there's a big difference between being prideful and just feeling happy about a job well done.
You aren't crowing about it from the rooftops after all, just acknowledging you did something good.

If you did a good job, and people are satisfied with the results, that's not wrong

I've just be told it's wrong to be prideful and such. Even in your own work

Like I feel like it's too self centered to be happy about those compliments. Am I being over critical?

Though im not in the art field id like to say your style is unique in a way and really cute
But #1 The WIngs Need To be Blended Into The Body And The Color Match the Coat
#2 Your Eyes Need A Bit Of Work
#3 Try Blending your legs Into The Grass A Bit more or add a layer or grass ontop of it
#4 same thing
#5 I think the fawns lighting is a bit off
#6 its my favorite but try to blend the socket of the wing in a bit

I agree with Olive, but the biggest thing is shadows and reflections <3 I don't know which app you use, but I love Krita.
I've been compiling my favorite tutorials for a while now, I'll edit in a bit with em<3
Edit: Here they all are, in no particular order :3
Roanies Manip Tutorial(Love this one!)
Hope these help<3

The first things I notice are a lack of a shadow on the ground and a lack of depth (shadow/highlight) on your horses. I definitely recommend checking out the tutorials that KPH has listed. I think learning to place a shadow on the ground as well as add shadows and highlights to your horse, mane/tail, and wings will really take your art to a next level. :) I go over this in my tutorial (KPH linked to it).

I think another thing to pay attention to is the tone of your background compared to the horse. For example, the background of your last piece is very blue/green toned while your horse has more of a yellow tone. If your program has a Color Balance tool, you can use this to adjust the tone of your horse to match the same tones as your background. This can be super helpful to get your horse to "fit" in its background.
You can also adjust the tones of the "extras" in your art (antlers, wings, animals) to fit both your horse and the background.
It's amazing what difference the little details can make!

I think you really have down the other major foundation components to art - such as horse body prep and the beginnings of grounding. For your grounding, I would go in with a softer, translucent brush to erase legs so it blends easier into your background.
I really like your manes and tails - that last piece especially has some phenomenal hair action!

If you have any questions, my mailbox is always open!
