Some tips and hints!

Ok, so I notice people don't draw every hair of the mane and tail. It's totally cool on some horses but sometimes it's better to draw them all one by one. But here is a MUCH easier way to do it.

Step one:

Draw the outline:


Step two:

Fill in with your selected color


Step three:

Shade the tail


Step four:

Go threw and ad some strands. Remember: GO WITH THE GRAIN. It looks funky when it looks like scribbles-depending. (Sometimes it looks pretty cool.)






Now lets work on our Manes. Lets go with a fiery red shall we?

Now I'm just gonna show you my steps:
