DISCLAIMER: I am in no way an expert on horses, horse coats, horse designs, or horse genetics. I don't know if this has been done before. There are artists who are probably MORE qualified to do this than I, YET, I do want to share what little knowledge I have to anyone who wants to learn more about designing horses, add techniques to their belt, or just improve on oekaki/design in general.

This is more of a personal project, I just want something to do in my free time and improve at the same time. If you consider yourself a good coat artist and if you want to help out, please PM me or post below! It will be greatly appreciated!

I'm so glad someone finally decided to step up on this! I've found trying to create horse designs is a bit of a challenge, and there are certainly a whole lot of horse design artists on here that I really look up to. Definitely marking!

Thank you guys !! I'm glad to know that these had been helpful and my efforts are going somewhere ;u;

I can't seem to make polls on oekaki, so if there's anything about any part of the tutorials that you guys wanted more explanation/clarification, other approaches, suggestions and/or criticisms, etc., please do let me know, my inbox is always open! <3
