How to color a horse:
Coat: Horses come in a variety of colors. You can color your horse with shades of brown, black, gray, white, or a mixture, depending on the breed. Start with a base color and add darker shades to show muscle and movement.
Mane and Tail: The mane and tail can be the same color as the coat or completely different. Use soft strokes to give a sense of fluidity and movement.
Eyes and Details: The eyes are expressive and reflect the nobility of the horse. Be sure to add a little sparkle to bring them to life. Don’t forget the hooves, which are usually darker than the coat.
Setting: When in the open field, use greens for the pasture and add some trees or flowers in the background. This will place your horse in a natural, free space.
