As always, I am very busy, only this time working on new paintings, *yay*. I haven't been able to replay to all the comments, notes, new watchers (hi!), all the faves etc. But I really appreciate every single one of them. Thank you all!

My back is still hurting from the accident but it is getting a little better. I had to go back to the hospital again and they took more xrays of my back but they can't find any fractures. In september I have to go back again for a check up and I need physical therapy before that. So hopefully it will be a lot better in a few weeks

And because I felt bad for myself I treated myself to a subscription so I could make this nice looking journal and stuff .

There were a few requests from the tutorial poll that I can answer in writing

* Making images realistic and detailed; When I paint a horse I always fill in the eyes last. When the eyes are in the image it looks finnished very quickly, so I make sure everything else looks good before adding the eye. That way you can keep all your attention to the details without having the feeling it it done already.
I really can't find any other way why my paintings look realistic, there are no other tricks or techniques I use, just don't fill in the eye too fast .

* Tools; The only tool I use is a standard brush in Photoshop, the hard round brush with the size, opacity and flow set to penpressure in the brush presets. Opacity and flow for painting varies from 30 to 80. I'm too lazy to change brushes so I stick to only this one .

If there are more questions I will answer them. And a mane/tail/hair tutorial will come in the next few weeks. As well as a realistic (horse)eye tutorial. And maybe you will come up with some more great ideas!

She deserves more credit for her work, very good but unknown artist, go check her gallery out!

Almost forgot!
My pageviews are getting closer to the 10.000 mark. Catch it with a screenshot and I will paint your horse/char .
