[Tutorial] Horse scars

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having an amazing day ❤️

Today you'll be getting a picture tutorial on how i make scars. More exact horse scars.

First of, human and horse scars do look a bit different, especially during the healing process. Mainly because of their coat, as well as their skin, as it is of course different to a human skin as it grows a thick fur out of it. So that is an important factor when searching for refs. Look up animal scars.

Scars will also fo...

Speedpaint - horse eye tutorial

Hello guys, hope you're doing well!

Today I want to provide you with a little tutorial/speedpaint!

Feel free to pause the video if you find it hard to read the text before it disappears. Also normally I draw eyes with colors, but since I started off with the eye (which is the opposite of what I normally do) I decided to do it in greyscale, but it works the same if you do it with colors.

If you have any questions or needs some in depth explaining, don't hesitate to reach out!...
