Redline~ :33

Postby *SN RADIOACTIVITY* » Tue Dec 27, 2011 10:34 am

Okay, before I explain, just needed to say sorry for the sketchiness, as I had only just finished a piece and is a bit too exhausted to make the lines clean~ x3

Okay, down to business. :3

Legs.

I noticed that, by the looks of the mane, your horse was either cantering or galloping. I brought the legs out to emphasise the movement, so the horse looks like it has speed and power to it. Also the elbow, if you see by the redline, needs to bend slightly then go out, because of the position of the leg. The back legs were fine, I just brought them back a bit just for more emphasis. Also, above the leg there is a bit of muscle, I suggest you look up the anatomy of the horse to help with muscles. :3

Stomach.

Not a lot to say about this one, apart from it needs to be a bit slimmer, and match the section between the front legs. Notice how in the girth area, which is located behind the elbow, it is almost straight, then gently goes into a curve, before coming back up for the hind legs. Also, the hind legs overlap this part as it does in real life. I forgot to draw the flank, but it is a line going up from the area where the leg overlaps. Also, there is a bit of muscle on the stomach, again try looking up horse muscle anatomy for help with this.

Shoulders.

The outer shoulder, I noticed, was not pronounced enough, and it needs to stick out more as the outer leg comes out. The neck should connect to this through a line, leaving a bit to be visible, as the shoulder. (I don't think that made sense, just look at the redline for help~ :3 ) Also, the inner shoulder closer to us needs to be made visible, normally this is one of the biggest shining areas, so it is best to make sure you know where that place is located for a nice, realistic picture. It tends to be in line with the first line of the fore leg, that is where the shining begins. I'm not going to go into detail about shining, it gets complicated. x3

Neck.

The neck was pretty well done, you just about had the shape right. Though, the end of it, connecting to the outer shoulder, was not shown at all, it is a small line, just to show where the outer shoulder is. Again, look at the redline if I'm not making sense. x3 I made the top line of the neck a bit thicker, to show muscle, and to help with that smooth curve leading on to the top of the head, or poll. you had the muscling right here, though there is a bit more with neck, but I didn't draw it on though, it's something you'll have to research.

Mane.

The mane isn't really flowing enough, though I was too tried to correct that, I am sure one of the other redlines picked it up though~ :3 Also, the forelock has to be blown back, either with the mane or in front of the ear like I did, as when the horse is cantering/galloping, the whole mane is blown back from the wind.

Face.

I saw a few errors in the face, though it wasn't that bad. The ears need to be large, and connected to the head. The eye also needed to be lifted a bit further the head, and shrunk down a bit, though I liked how you added the eyelash, to give that realistic horsey look! The cheekbone needed to move further up the face, so it is in line with the eye, though make sure the end goes on for a bit more, as they have long cheekbones. The nostril needed to be higher up the nose, so it shapes the muzzle. If the nostrils are flared, like I assumed they are, they are that semi-circle like shape, though add a bit of a curve so it shapes the muzzle, like I did. You had the shape of the nostril pretty good, and the line underneath it was pretty accurate. I forgot to add that in, oops. xD *Slaps self*
The mouth was well done, though slightly too curved and low. The chin needs to be a bit more straight, though I didn't portray that very well, sorry! The line between the chin and the cheek needs to be slightly curved, as that is where the jaw is. In most cases you get fur under there, especially with the hairier breeds! Though you don't have to draw that on as most people cut them hairs off. x3 Oh yeah, the muzzle needed to be wider, because horses tend to have big muzzles to help them eat. ;3

The Back.

The back needed a natural curve, as if you look at real horses, their back isn't a straight line. :3 Also, you need to pronounce the withers a bit more, the withers is the area that connects the neck to the back. If you are unsure what I am talking about, perhaps study the horse anatomy to help you out with this. The rump was well done, it's pretty much in the same place, perhaps slightly lower because of the curve.

Overall, you done a good job, and with a bit of practise, you'll get there in no time! I always suggest you look at horses in real life, or pictures and study muscle and skeletal anatomy to help with the more complicated parts. Also, if you type in 'horse drawing tutorials' in DA or Youtube, there are very useful ones out there, and I always find watching people draw on Youtube or Livestream very helpful to get that anatomy right!

I hope this helps you, and good luck!

Sorry everyone, but I have to leave CS due to huge problems at home, I will not be able to access the internet anymore. It was lovely being on this awesome site, and I will miss it dearly. Perhaps one day I will be back, but for now I have to go. Sorry to everyone who has ordered art/is RP-ing with me, I will return pet payments ASAP.

No problem!
Aha, it wasn't actually that bad, just a few errors here and there~ :3

With a bit of practise, I'm sure you'll be able to draw realistic pictures! :33
