Pricing Help & Critique

p.s. lineart ain't as easy as it looks

As a fellow line-artist, I get what you mean. But there are some things you can do to make it better:

1. Clean up the edges. The mane and tail have quite a lot of stuff outside of the lines, which take away from the pretty shading. After finishing, always go around the entire horse to erase the outside, to give it a more professional finish.

2. Shade! I love your mane + tail, beautiful job with highlights and lowlights. However, everything else is a flat colour. I personally like using the Burn and Dodge tools to shade, darkening where natural shadows would form and vice versa. Then go over with the blur brush, but be careful not to blur everything.

3. Small details. Ties in with the above. As a lover of those tiny details that make a piece just pop, the eyes and hooves were slightly flat for me. Try shading them (as described above) and adding a shadow below the horse.

I really don't mean to come across as harsh <3 I love the mane and tail, and the cute pink nose. Good job!

After some playing around i found something I like. I would love to know what I can improve for next time 🙂
