Hey! First off, if you don’t want people to tell you that they think you’re doing something wrong I wouldn’t ask for critiques. The actual definition of critique is “the art or practice of criticism”. ;)
Second, I would suggest just continue studying tutorials and practicing! I can tell that you are starting to grasp the concept of lighting; keep at it! I would suggest also practicing hair and highlights. :) Other than that, itÂ’s hard for me to give specific tips without having a specific piece to comment on. :) |

I wasn't trying to say it like that meant as a phrases such as this is all wrong and just hatred towards that part of the price I must have said it in that Manor, apologies for the confusion
And thank you for the tip I'll be sure to add some recent to critique on in the fit St post =)

First image: I feel like the background is a little too blurred. A focus blur is a little more subtle, don't get too heavy handed with it. Plus a little more care on where you put it. The foreground wouldn't be as blurred as it is. Nor should there be as such a defined blurred/not blurred around the horse in the snow. The mane and tail are a little TOO much on the true black. Very little definition with highlights/low lights. There is a lot of just slow down and look at the details, like the shadow doesn't line up with the horse's hooves. The hooves are just faded instead of IN the snow. Like the horse's left hind that is in the air, that shouldn't be blurred. Just slow down and take your time with it. Also add some simple details like shadowing under the mane and forelock. This piece also needed a little more cleaning up when cutting out the horse, which you can really see in the hind legs.
Second image: I think this one is a little better than the first, it doesn't seem like it was as rushed. Or at least that is how it came across to me. But be careful with markings. You don't want a HARD line between color and white. Take a very fine smudge on a low opacity and go along the edge of where the white meets the color and soften it up a bit. And be careful of faded or deformed hooves. They do look a little wonky in this picture. The mane and tail are obviously smudge in this image, make sure you take care to try and get as much flow as you can so it doesn't look like a bad wig. And the horse has no forelock? Also, when you copy and paste hooves (the horse's front right and rear left) make sure to add different shadows and highlights so they don't look identical.
Third Image: As creative as this one is, this horse kind of has this going on

The neck/head are very, very awkwardly placed making the neck look very stunted. The whole thing just looks very, very blurry to me. To the blurry/overly smudged horse to the exaggerated motion blur in the background. I feel like you went a little too crazy with the blurring. The snow around the horse's chest where it fell looks like it was cloned because there is several peaks that are identical. And with the horse falling you missed the opportunity to put a lot of flying snow through the air. There is little bits of mess that need to be cleaned up from cutting out the horse, like around the hocks there is still old background.
Over all: What I get from these images is the over all feel is being rushed. Try to sit back and try to see what else you can add, any little details that can be added/changed. Like the shadow for instance, just taking a couple extra second to line that up more would have been better. |

1st image: Agree with Jeri, the image is blurred in the wrong spots - the front focus is blurred except for the space around the horse. Try gently blurring the skyline instead. Perhaps also try to work on the disruption of snow around the horse's feet, as they would create all sorts of disturbance, especially in a trotting motion. Even add some snow kicked up around the upraised hoof perhaps.
2nd image: I love the blending on the muzzle with the pink to white. Well done. My main concern is where the light source is coming from - the background image itself doesn't really have a determined light source, but the horse has a lot of strong light coming from behind it randomly. Try adding a light source to the background as well!
3rd image: This is a funny and cute idea lol. I like the lighting and the horse's hues match it nicely. However, the horse and snow are doing this harmonic little tango together and blend/fade. Try adding harsher lines so they don't like... blob together. Also, because the horse is falling frontwards, this would mean that the hair would moving with the motion of the horse - frontwards and over. Try smudging the strands so that the hair matches the motion. Good hair finishes a piece!
You've improved an insane amount. Keep them coming |
