Lmbo. Dreamy has a goal

edited March 2008 in Artist Alley
It's called a "10 Horse Goal."-also posted on FP-<br><br>Alright. I decided to take a break from attempting to draw dogs. I am looking for my muse, so while I'm looking, I'll call it with my horsies. x3 Basically, I want to improve on both head studies and full bodies. And all you horse and art people can help me. What I'm going to do, is draw 3 head shots, and 7 full bodies(notice where I'm focusing, hm?) Just to get my basic anatomy straight. But with the full bodies especially, I don't want all/most to be just those stand still ones. Which is the main reason I picked the photographer for references I did.<br><br>Basically, I need you guys to red line to your hearts desire and critique 'til I'm in tears(x3) And I need an idea on different poses of the fulls. I have 1-2 in mind. And I am willing to do some foals mixed in. The basic idea of this is to not get attached to one thing. Spwee! Understand my goal now? Good, good.<br><br><a href="http://goodbye-kitty975.deviantart.com/"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://goodbye-kitty975.deviantart.com/</a><br>These are the reference pictures. I have messaged the photographer and have received permission to use any of the images as reference.<br><br>So. Now all I need are the poses and such chosen. :D<br><br><br><br>And.. I want you guys to help me choose the images. ^^ Cause I know ya'll luff me.

    Seeing the animal in motion is usually the best reference, which is why I like to watch Animal Planet all the time x3. <br>'Cause seeing the animal move is better if you're trying to learn anatomy. <br><br>I don't know much about horses, but I'll try to help/critique as best as I can ^^.

    Hehe. That's why Youtube is your friend. I take a frame out, and trace the shapes a million times.

    I don't trace the outline. I trace the shapes. Circle for the main head, the joints. Nothing else. Just to get placement ideas, then I go on my program and use the thing as a ref, and draw it a bunch. Improvising each time. ^^

    Psh. I've never sold a horse piece since I've lived. xD And yes, Boz, I know you weren't saying I had.<br><br>I don't think traing the outline of whatever helps in the least. But falling into rhythm of length, width and such, I find helpful

    I had a feeling you thought that I traced the outline. I find, even tracing, it turns out worse. xD

    <br><br>xDDD I never liked tracing. Whenever I seen something somebody traced it never looked right.
