Beautiful! But I do have a tip for you. Since it was passed onto me, I will be happy to tell you.
You are off to an awesome start. I see speckles of white all over the body. That is good, now, air brush over that with white at low opacity a few times till it looks milky, and go over it as smoothly as possible with the smudge tool. (The one that looks like a finger)
and there youd have yourself an even prettier roan!
What I do is I use a pen when first starting out, turn up the scattering and spacing, and I go lightly over the jaw a bit, all over the neck, belly, back and the butt of the horse. Then I do the air brushing and smudging. :} Then for sabino's, (I use it for many of my adoptables, actually)all I do is I draw out the markings as detailed as possible, and then I go over the edges with my pen (ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PEN AT SIZE 2) with scattering and spacing on, making sure that the rough lines of the markings arent visible, and it looks like the color flares out into the main body color of the horse. Stockings look beautiful by using this maneuver!
Happy entering! You have awesome potential. Try this technique and let me see your progress. You will do well, I am sure! :}
