Members YinTx Posted March 9, 2019 Members Report Posted March 9, 2019 Well, she's finished in all her flawed glory. Still need lots of practice with horses I think, but many thanks to all those who helped me get this one as good as it is. For a guy who can't draw stick figures, I reckon I'm doin ok... Made this with some of that older Tandy leather like I have in the "for sale leather and lace" section, conditioned with some beeswax/neatsfoot oil blend I've made. Mahagony dye and antique, Tan Kote resist and Resolene top coat. 9 oz outside, 5 oz inside. Heavy Fil Au Chinois Brique linen thread. I'll probably put this one for sale, anyone have any idea what a tooled padfolio goes for these days?

Rockoboy Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 Looks great, but I am wondering about the horse's eye, does that need some colour or some tooling to show the eyeball better?

The horse looks blind. I tried to follow @yaklady's tutorial on horse eyes, not that I did as well as her, but I tried. I think maybe since there is no distinction of a pupil, it seems like a blind eye. But, in general, you don' see the white of the horse's eye very often, and the pupil is difficult to distinguish. I could have perhaps added a bit of dye to make the eye all dark, and tried to give it a white highlight as though there were a reflection off of a shiny round object, would make it seem more alive. I haven't done a lot of eyes per se, so lots of room for experimenting and improvement for sure! 1 hour ago, Rossr said: Yin...once again you are being too hard on yourself!

I think this is an exceptional piece of art, the likes of which I can only dream of doing. The eye is just one small thing that I noticed.
