Horses manes (update)

[slleipnir]

Haha, she said already that she is going to make it fuller, but she needs to figure out how to make it flow.

To me, it looks like really long hair growing out of the top of the head. If you think about it, horses manes grow the whole way down the neck. You should see if you can make it look more like it is going from the top of the neck rather than from the poll. I hope that helps some...otherwise it looks great!

I'm not too sure I know what you mean?? And thank you for not saying it needs to be more full ;D lol

Yeah, I agree with Areias, the mane needs to be growing from all the way down the neck, instead of just the top of it's head. I am no expert on horses by any means, but I think that's how most horses' manes are. So, instead of just making it grow from her head, try making it grow from down her neck a bit too.

Hope that helped and cleared things up!

I wasn't really sure how to help, but I was wondering if maybe this picture could help you?

Here's that pic. I think part of the problem is the hair in the mane is too fine. It needs to be a little more coarse. That's how horses's manes are. The pic is just beautiful, though. I know you've put a lot of work into it.

I just can't get it to look right no matter what I do D: It's so depressing. I need to finish it cause it's taking all my time away from others commissions. I'm just not happy with it. But normally I would care more than $15 for something like this so it's hard to be motivated. (But it was me who said I would. She paid for a cartoon. I just felt like doing it at the time D

[dukedogsmom]

Well she's getting way more than a cartoon, that's for sure! She's very lucky, if you want my opinion.

Any better? I just dont understand it I guess lol. People are telling me but I can't seem to do it...

[areias]

I'll see if I can sit down and do some 'red lines' a little bit later.

It might be too late to say this but the front legs are too short,

Not that it looks bad or anything, it's a beautiful piece of art work.

Just imagin the horse standing down right now and you'll notice the legs are wee bit too short.

The main should be more thick, horse hair sticks together even when in the wind.


Here is a painting of a horse with some good thick main hair which would look good on yours.
