This was my first time painting the hair and it was ROUGH! Lol. I feel like it was pretty good but I just wanted somebody elses opinion. Thanks. This was for a contest but if I was to sell it, how much do you think it would go for?

I desperately need this critiquing :')

But this was one of my last pieces, and I would love to start again with some suggestions. Thanks!

Raven good job on creating a 4 winged pegasus they are tricky buggers.

The horse seems quite lost in the image and small. When I do pegasus I try to make them larger than life even the finer built ones. Wings equal a lot of additional mass and muscle to pull the horse upwards. I would make the top wings bigger and the bottom wings smaller to help differentiate. For four wings for scale ideas look at CloudJumper from HTTYD. His wings are epic and functionally accurate.

To help differentiate the wings again colour wise as well perhaps make the top set darker and the underneath lighter.

Lighting wise contrast should really be pushed overall donÂ’t make the darkest points black but lot more shadows in muscle crevices and IÂ’d do a light wrap around the front of the horse. You want the shadow intensity of the background to match the shadow intensity of the horse.

The motion of the mane and tail clash. They should both be on a horizontal direction implying power of the horse taking off. The tail seems to currently hang straight down and this seems off putting and draws away from the image. In all honesty I would try to scale the horse so it fills the canvas and the rump is just on the corner. This would make it seem bigger and more eye catching.

The colour change is good but I would try to keep more detail in the White markings.

I would scratch and redo the eye completely I feel this is the biggest thing retracting from the eye completely. It seems very cartoony and breaks the mood of the piece. I can and often will do eyes 3-4 times until I feel like it is right for the horse. They are tricky and hard to get right.

Overall you have done a good job at a very tricky piece, with subject and composition and lighting all being difficult. So you should be proud of yourself. :)
