Here are two of my most recent pieces. I like them but I still feel like they are missing something and yeah... I don't know. Tell me what you honestly think and tips about what you would want to see improved. Thank you!

I really love these pieces! I think the only thing that really needs work is the lighting on the horses. In the first piece, the horse seems a bit bright for the background. Perhaps either lighten the background or add some contrast and shadows to the horse. Also, the hooves are nicely done but seem a bit small. I would enlarge the hooves a bit. On the second piece I personally would add some more red tones to the horse and make the highlights on the horse more yellowy-orange than white. I'm so jealous of your manes and tails! :) |

I agree with what was said above.
I also think grounding (making the horses hooves look "there" lol) can be improved upon slightly.
Your manes are amazing, no changes needed there (alhough I would LOVE a tutorial.... LOL)
I like the shadow under the horse. It's a thing many artists (myself included) forget, occasionaly, good job.
Other then that, I see no other things that need to be worked on at the moment :D. Your art is beautiful, by the way <3 |

I think what's getting me on the first piece is the grounding. I believe the angles of the stock are ok but I think it might be the highlights you have at the bottom of the hoof. That or the shoes you tried to create look like highlights. Usually a perfectly even cut at the bottom doesn't work.. but having the lighter color kinda brings the eyes towards it making it seem like it's just not sitting right. Something else I could possibly see is keeping a little more definition in the muscles and depth in the flank area. And lastly what I try to do is take a copy of the background, throw it over the horse, blur it significantly, and make it a soft light layer. Then I just play with the opacity of it a little bit so it's not so overpowering. It helps blend the colors and lighting on the horse a little bit.
Second one I really like, really the only things I could see in that one is again, taking the background and putting it over the horse to help with the color and lighting some, and possibly attempting to remove some of the light coming from the front. The background has all the light towards the rear but the horse has some light coming from the front a little bit
Overall you're doing awesome job and I love that you're still asking for improvements. Your hair is goals 😂 keep it up! Can't wait to see how my lil pon girl looks when you're done with her ;)
Edit: The eye!! Both pieces it appears to look a little like a black hole. I know some people aren't fond of the "fake eye" but when everything else is edited and that's left out it looks slightly off |
