How would I fix that? (Make the horse grounded?

So I was just messing around and I ended up making this:

and it was really easy for me to make.. soooo... I wanna possibly start selling them and stuff like that. I wanna be sure people will actually buy them so I want it to be perfect. Perfect price, and perfect art. If y'all could help that would be wonderful! Thanks! -Nobi

Thats looks really nice! You definitely have basic anatomy down but I would recommend taking a look at proportions. If you're going for realism, larger nose, slightly thinner neck. I really really like the colors in the eye. Looking at the cheekbone, it's usually more circular as opposed to ovalish. I think your lighting looks fabulous as does the horse's overall expression. Also, here's a tutorial I really like for details <3

I didn’t do the outlines, but I found free line arts of horses, and decided to try coloring them in, starting with the mane and tail of the left one. Any tips for it sofar? x-x

I feel like there is something wrong about this, then i look at it and think its good. Any pointers?

@Cando Farm, it might just be me, but the front left and back right hooves look like they’re growing moss, and the back left could use a little help since the blur looks like it merged with the other one. But I love how it all looks.

@Cando

I actually really like how well blended the back feet are. Branching off of that thought, your outline of the horse's pastern/fetlockdoesnt actually outline where it is in the photograph. Still loooking at the outline, it's rather shaky on the stomach so I would recommend giving that another go, just to make the piece cleaner. Only other part I would suggest taking a look at is the eye. Horse eyes very rarely show much white and never quite so much. I'll link an eye tutorial I really like below. Beatiful work <3

Thank you for the help :)

I think ill keep my eyes like that, i dont want it to be 100% realistic so i add my own little flare with the eye

Just a tip: nothing's perfect. Just find a place where you are happy, regardless of what others might say. Remember: it's you who'll end up getting burned out, not them. You'll do the work, not them. Take care of yourself <3
