Criticism is welcome and appreciated!

A couple of things with this one -

Tobiano generally (as with all genes there are outliers) causes white in a predictable pattern. One thing to note is that tobianos almost always (99% of the time) have white on every leg. Whether that is minimal or a whole stocking, every leg usually has a white marking. Additionally, there are parts of the body that tobiano rarely affects or only covers at the most extreme expressions. The chest, top of the front legs, the flank, and the head are where colour is covered last. The head is rarely white (other than facial markings like blazes) and the flank and chest usually have colour. An extreme tobiano like this shows that off pretty nicely. The flank still has a spot of colour and the head is almost fully coloured. The chest is likely fully white, which can be the case with extreme expression as I said. Some more examples are this horse and this horse, which are moderately patterned tobianos. The chest, flank and head are fully coloured, while up the neck, the belly and the legs are white. Essentially my main criticism of your tobiano is that it's unlikely for white to cover the chest without the tobiano being quite extensive.

I do think your colours are slightly off in this one - the mane, tail and legs have a lot of red colour where they should be black (or at least much more desaturated than they are). Again my recommendation would be to use reference and study it carefully. Colour pick in a program like photoshop (there are also online colour pickers I believe) if you need to, I often do that if I'm struggling to organically choose the right colour. Your base is good but could be improved with some colour variation! Even in a seemingly "plain" solid bay, there is a vast variation of colour in the coat.
