Oh dear! It looks like quite some time since my last post!
Well...
" Little Peanut " was next on my list of little
model horses to receive not only a
new coat color, but also reshaping of his
(at the time) very flat and unattractive head and mane.
The exacto blade and some fine sandpaper were first to be used, giving him a cute little pony head and better flow to his mane.
Hours later he looked so much better...and it was time to begin work on a new color.
So...exacto blade in hand again, I carefully etched away his chestnut color, transferring him into a spunky white and chestnut pinto. Then with detailing brushes, pan pastel colors were added for depth to his coat, to "map" out his white markings, and darken eyes and muzzle.
His cute white face was softly pinked between nostrils...after which layers and layers of clear matte finish were applied to protect him. Eyes and nostril insides were then glossed to add life.
And after these images were taken, his petite hooves
were colored and glossed.
Now complete, this cheery little pony happily trots across my desk, ready for his new home this fall or winter...where ever that may be.
Coming soon...a little unicorn perhaps?
