First off, I use Ibis Paint X, which is a free arting app in the Google App Store. ^-^

I use my phone of course, and just a normal pen stylus, I don't have nothing special. :P

For this tutorial, I will be using a bay quarter horse. I won't be doing any color changes or anything, just the basics! Since I will be using it for a banner, it will be a little different than a full horse avatar, so apologizes. I may do a full one later though, so keep an eye out!

So first off, select your stock of course! This stock will be from FantasyDesignStock on Deviantart. I cut it down from the full picture to where I think it will look good on the banner, shown below.

Now it's time to start fixing up your horse!! Which is smudging, fixing the mane and tail and doing the eye. I have a few tactics that may be different than yours, so read carefully! ^-^

Smudging

IMPORTANT!!

Remember, lower the settings down when you get to the face so you don't lose all those delicate details!!!
