#in retrospect i should have looked for my white colored pencil that has mysteriously disappeared and went crazy with highlighting

Sappho. I wanted to know if I could under layer shading with markers. That failed. HOWEVER, I took a picture of my greyscale marker drawing before I obliterated every ounce of shading with grotesque color so that I could play with it digitally. I'm ecstatic. She is GORGEOUS.

#horseblr #horse art #equine art #mixed media #prismacolor markers #digital coloring #unicorn art #kifuart #so this is the first time i think sappho has EVER had shading #and i have owned this horse for eight years #i was so proud of myself for drawing her when i bought her design #i've ... greatly improved #2017 was my breakthrough year after all #but like holy shit this horse is absolutely beautiful and i think i may have to do this type of painting againt #because i truly do love markers but some colors are so damn hard to capture #so this gets the texture and the ease of marker without the worry of making mistake with color #in retrospect i should have looked for my white colored pencil that has mysteriously disappeared and went crazy with highlighting #but i also thought this was taking another direction and i've never layered marker over colored pencil before #ooh i needed this for myself
