Horse Head

So guys..I just made this. All of this is mine and I didn't reference anything for this horse but I did use a picture to try and get an idea of shading.. I'm so proud of this considering this is the first time I've really ever tried to do something like this from scratch on the computer. I realize there are a few stray pixels that I'll need to clean up but this is a trial and error experience for me as I have never done lineless art (that I recall) and rarely draw lines and art (besides coloring and markings) myself. I'm reallyyyy happy with how it turned out though I know there are obviously things to work on.

Here is the uncolored horse head:

Colored example:


I'm also searching for someone to possibly join me in doing recolors of this and make this into a pdf to make the coloring as consistent as possible when two people are splitting the recolors so if you're interested, go check it out in the "Looking for Forum".

For those who are wondering:
Program Used: GIMP
Time Spent: 3 1/2-4 hours I think
References Used: Only for an idea about shading and the site is credited on the image.
Trackpad or Mouse: Trackpad

It's so pretty! I'm hardly able to make a blob of pixels slightly resembling a horse. :P
