Now that I've settled into my "back-to-school" routine, I have figured out times and scheduling so I should have more time to make graphics! That being said, I'd definitely appreciate some help.
All of my examples are here: my da

Rip them to pieces, I want to get better. If you have any tutorials/tips, anything, please share :)

Well for starters, I really like your style. It looks like you've improved a lot in the past year.I think you could work on making the subjects blend with the background more. There are a lot of good coloring tuts on dA. Also, sometimes the subject is slightly blurred compared to the extremely sharp background, so try to even that out.Sometimes the lighting is very unrealistic. Painting light and shadows on a subject is quite daunting at first, but just try to experiment with it a bit more.Lastly, your horse tails don't flow realistically... they look too perfect, like a human ponytail. Look at photos of horses and take note of all the odd angles and flyaway hairs. Also, the colors and lighting of the individual hairs should flow together more. Your tails sometimes appear too sharp and piece-y. Does that make sense?Anyway, nice work! I struggled to find faults on some of your manips. Fairytale is gorgeous, although the tail could be improved. But the colors and lighting are perfect. Best of luck!chandra
