WIP Pegaso's Richard the Lionheart

[jimias]

Well this is what i ve been working on lately.
Always wanted to paint a horse with acrylics, altough i know oils whould give a more natural finish. STill i feel i have better control over the final result with acrylicsAnyways after several fruitless attempts i got to this point where i m satisfied. Still trying to get the hair look somehow better (not sure how though).
Feel free to fire your critique, as i m quite positive there will be on this one!
Regards.

Beautiful painting on the horse, especially considering you used acrylics!

What colors did you use? I love bright chestnuts.

πολύ καλό βάψιμο και με ακρυλικά!

realistic!!

 

[Ferris]

Absolutely outstanding work Dimitrios!!
The brown colour is so right. Your highlighting and shading suggests a slight sheen that I find very pleasing and convincing.
It's hard to criticise anything in this; but since you ask about the manes, maybe I could make the suggestion to use a subtle old-fashioned black/brown (oil?) wash at the manes to give some shade and suggest separate strands. Just a thought.
I will definitely follow this!

Cheers,
Adrian
