Wow I love the 3D look and the dark shading you mangaged to get from colored pencil!! So well blended it really makes that horse's coat look real!! His face looks like you could reach out and touch it. Wonderful work!!!
I looked at this for some time thinking i was looking at a photo.....Great job Christina.fantastic
Artist Reply: That is the ultimate compliment to a realist artist... :) I love it when people mistake my work for photos - and then realize that it's actually pencil! :) Thanks Martha!
Hey I know this from the Wet Canvas!! I post in the A & W fourm..... do you post there too?
Artist Reply: Yes, this is done from a reference photo from Wetcanvas.com - I get a lot of my inspiration there! :) I don't post in the forums there, but I do read the occasional tutoria there. It's a great site for finding and sharing reference photos. :)
