Description

I tried.I tried. xD the background isn't special but i tried to just use my normal round brush to do it as Naia and Templado suggested to me. and for sure the main aspect here was to try something composition-whise, colors and lighting. SaphiraJK gave me the tip to try backlight once - and i did :´ D

Hope I got it somehow right

vielen lieben dank!! *_* jaa mein zwang mich zu verbessern und alle fehler auszumerzen und top realistische bilder zu malen....xDDD

ich war in diesem "loch" jetzt auch gut 1-2 jahre drinn, man ist dann so unzufrieden...habs dann einfach angepackt und gefragt was ich machen kann, gott sei dank hat harpg hauptsächlich eine großartige community wo nicht jeder gleich zu stänkern beginnt oder etwas schlecht macht sondern wirklich konstruktiv verbesserungen vorschlägt :3

This one is so great! The atmosphere is very nice and satisfying to look at, and it all fits together really nice. It's a really good improvement from earlier works and it stands out. There's a better focal point, and the background looks less cluttered. Also, the details in that saddle pad omg. Did you draw that by hand? Because if so: Respect. I would die even trying to do that xd
The backlighting is great and really adds to the picture.

A small tip for the light surrounding the horse, for next time: At the back, and the knees, the light feels a bit off. I would give the light a bit softer edge, or making the line a bit thinner (and maybe lighter), depending on what effect you'd like to have. This because light generally fades very easily and softly, with a small exception of where the light can't go any further because of for example by sharp edges like bones or very hard muscles. 

It still looks so great though <3

thank you so much!! <3

i found a reference for this and painted it in then, yes :3

i think i wanted too much and took a too big brush to paint the counter light in - i totally know what you mean. i also had my layer on "overlay" but this was a big no-no when i look at this by now :´ D will let the layer be on normal and taking a very light yellow next time ( :

no worries i had so much fun doing this backlight thing that i'm totally trying this out more often now - so i can get those mistakes away :´ D

Templado [2019-07-05 10:31:00 +0000 UTC]

Oh it really looks good! The shadows are way better even on preview! Let alone the full view image. And the horse (and rider) grabs your attention really nice with having less details in the bg!
Good good!
One thing though - just an advice.
If to go with any texture brushes, Id go with them on the sand in the foreground. To make it more fleshy and textured in front of the horse (i mean the lower part of the image) and to make the size and intensity of texture fade away with the distance)

Oh I love this! It's so good! The horse and rider feel so much more connected to the setting now. The background adds to the image now, it's not busy and distracting. This is a great direction to go in!

Uuuuuu aaaaaa oooooou, hello there smexy

I like it a lot, now the picture is like one piece and the atmosphere, yes, yes! The background is simple, but it fits a lot more, its true it would need slightly more work to look better, but I think as first try and coming out of comfort zone, its really great!

yaaas thank you so much!! *o* <3 i deleted this background like 5 times it was so hard even it looks like nothing xD really have to work on some composing and view with more details, i recognized it when i was working on this, i had no clue what to put in the distance ^^"

thank you again!!

Ohhh I like this background a lot! It feels a lot cleaner and definitely suits the style you use for your horse/rider a lot better ^^

thank you so much, so glad it looks better/fits better!! *__*

it was so hard for me to not use a texture brush - for me that background looks extremely empty now xD

An empty bg isnt a bad thing persay, it can work calming and in this case it actually does work very calmming. It just takes some time to get used to then you'll never want to go back to brushes
