The chin was actually supposed to be like this, because when some horses are resting, they let it drop a little and it does look enlarged. I'll see if I can take a photo of one when I'll go to the stables today to show you
And the eyes
is brown; rather dark, but if you look closely you'll see that it's brown. The mouth is on the shorter side because I was trying to make the horse more of a pony than an actual warmblood :3
I know how a horses chin looks like when they rest it, I work at a stable and have studied horse economics for two years. I have to say that it doesn't look like it's resting the chin, because when they do that, they let it fall. Their lips are slightly parted and the lower lip is hanging lower than the upper lip. It would look more resting if it would be lower than the upper lip or if the lips were slightly parted. Perhaps you could try using a lighter brown, because now it looks a little demonic (sorry
), because the eye is simply so dark. Or you could just try to put some white on the corner of the eye, since horses rarely have their eyes so that there is no white to be seen, especially when they look forward. And as for the pony-look: the head is smaller and wider for ponies than for horses. Horses have longer, narrower heads, ponies shorter and wider (ponies are like that in many other ways too
).
I'm sorry for my long posts, but horses are my passion and I am quite particular about their anatomy (even though I can't get it right, either, when I draw them
)
I still have way too many items! Pleasem collect them all away, or I will leave and no one gets them! Also, I have three rats from the fare, so the fastest will get them, too.
