So many people have been asking me to make manip tutorial and honestly you guys have NO idea how much it means to me that you guys want this from me, so here it is

I would also love to see what you guys mame using the following knowledge,so feel free to post ykur end prodicts here and dont be afraid to ask questions,I dont bite <3

This is one of the most important parts of a photomanipulation,and is often over looked.I usually find the horse stock first, and find one the i really like.It gets boring very quickly if you dont like the stock youre working with.I recomend using a chestnut or light bay if youre a beginner planning on dling a color change.Something to note is that it can be difficult to remove markings so try to avoid stock that have markings,unless you keep the markings.Some of the hardest color to change from personal experience are: Dapple grey,white/cremello/perlino,black and roan.unless you want to keep those color, try to avoid them if youre a beginner,even very experienced artist have trouble with these color at times.Next i choose my BG stock (i highly suggest using unsplash) and make sure that the horse will fit well,and will not looked.I like its about to fall over an example of This is using an image that is downhill and using an image lf a horse going uphill,it will look silly.If you're adding wings like I am for this piece make sure that the the base of the wings a d the shoulders line up properly eg: dont use a horse where its whole body is visible and wings shown from the front of the bird.
