Description Was thinking about changing the way I do designs, do you think this is better or worse? Top is my old method, using lineart, keeping things very clear so the markings are pronounced etc. Below is new style made using horse maker, gives you a chance to see your character in all their glory.


Thoughts?

I like the horse creator version But I think because of the shading you should get the actual colours and put them on the side as little circles, do you know what I mean?

I like #2, but 1 is also good.

Ooh, thanks so much for using my design here! Personally, I think the bottom still gives a clean enough view of markings and looks nicer as well

I think the top one is better for designs you'll eb giving others it is a lot clearer as you said

Oh my gosh! the second style is GORGEOUS

definitely do the second one at random times though!

I think the first one is better for doing designs. That way the details/design is really clear and there's no question whether its shading or color, and it's easier to get a color palate to do the design yourself off a flat color

yeah you're right, particularly as references clear designs are a must

Hmmm. I'll admit, the horse maker is fun, but I think using lines is better for designs. It's much clearer.

Autumnbirds [2011-02-03 19:23:04 +0000 UTC]

Mmmh... I think you should do both. :3 The first one is, as you already said, really clear and you can see, how the markings are - helpfull! The second one shows how the character/design would look if it wouldn't be in that cear way. That can be sometimes kinda inspirating and give some new ideas. Also the design looks a little bit more full of life.
Hope you know what I mean... My english isn't the best. Dx
