My first tag in 5ever

#262658 Posted on 2022-11-25 21:08:52



It has been... I want to say six years or more since I last drew anything digital at all, and even longer since I did a tag. But I've been wanting to get back to it. Tonight I finally did. I used an original character of mine for the test run; I'm considering selling some of the tags?

Anyway. Feedback and advice would be very helpful!

So cute!! I love it!!! It almost looks like the flowers were done in another art style, kinda like someone else made it lol makes it pop and draw attention :)

I was worried the flowers would look too muddled if I added a bunch of shading. And it did have the benefit of making them stand out - color language aside. And thank you!!

I'm not completely sure what you mean by topline. Could you explain?

well, the top of his neck seems to dip in a bit much, showing a lack of muscle. Like the horse here, the neck dips down then goes back up sharply to the withers :)

My own pony is like this bc she doesn't exercise enough and I can't ride her anymore.

The tag looks great! I would definitely purchase a few. I have a couple characters it would look great with. Would you consider adding horns for unicorn characters?

Thank you all for your kind words! And Kali, I bet that's because the reference image I looked at is of an older horse xD I wasn't feeling super confident in my ability to remember horse anatomy

@Deer Creek, I would be willing to try! I can make no promises on how good they'd be, but there's one way to find out

That would be awesome! If they don't look right, that's okay! ♥

haha no worries, it's still super pretty ♥ and the mane reminds me of the art style from the original 2002 Spirit movie :D super cool c: I struggle with any form of anatomy so I use an old horse book called Horse Sense :D It also has the gaits in a sort of stop-motion style so I use the poses as well ♥ it's from the '80s though, so not sure if you can still get it anywhere, but I recommend looking for it. 

Update cuz I didn't finish typing: it's this one, by Jane Starkey Horse Sense just figured I'd share, it's super helpful ;)
