The Pony of Many Colors

No snow day today, but instead I got a two hour delay.
There’s supposed to be another storm on its way so…..maybe a snow day? I hope.
Anyways, while priming the drafter, I started to also prep Phoenix (again). I want her now to be an appaloosa mare, similar to the one I found online. So instead of messing her up, I decided to just reprime this guy and experiment on him.

I kept my reference near by while I did a base coat until it was even.

Then I broke out my new pastels (black Friday, yay) and started to add shading.

Mane Event

So Mogwli got a new mane today. It still needs to be detailed on the bottom, underside, but my dear draft horse is coming along!

I did it by rolling out pieces of apoxy and pushing it into the mane, and then cutting and shaping it with my exacto knife into triangle shapes.

 Then I used my clay tools (end of a paint brush, pencil point) and textured in his mane. The underside will be sculpted once the top has hardened.
