So I see people are utilizing this section, and let me tell you it is AWESOME to see.

However!! a lot of times when people ask for critique, they just post their art and say "WHAT DO BETTER?"
(not that this is anyone's fault - everyone does it at some point, it's not easy to pinpoint what you need on your own!)

I've found that this is kind of difficult to work with. It's hard to say what's needing to be improved without being blunt sometimes, or without comparing to other art/real horses - and if you can't do that, it's even harder to explain what needs fixing. Additionally it's hard to describe techniques because some people use different programs, tools, etc.

SO! I've created a handy dandy little copy/paste sheet that maybe people could use for asking for help rather than relying on passing comments for help!

Feel free to use it, add/remove sections, or suggest others I can add here.

What program do you use? Traditional, Photoshop CS5, GIMP, Paint, etc

What drawing tool do you use? Wacom tablet, Monoprice tablet, hand, mouse, etc

What do you feel you struggle the most with? hooves, clean lines, realism, etc

What do you feel you're already good at? manes, legs, ears, etc

What have you noticed you need to work on? Critique yourself: I can't draw hooves like everyone else, I have trouble with shadows, etc.

What help are you looking for? tutorials, teachers, tips and tricks, examples, etc.

Try to be as detailed and honest as possible. And remember, everyone only wants to help!

Enjoy!
XOXO
