Tutorial for Adding Markings — Description
[DOWNLOAD for larger size]
________________________________________ ____________
24 hours after getting new hardware and software, shadina's back in business! at least, with photomanipulation...

anyway, a couple of people here asked me how i added (faked) markings to horses in my manipulations, so here it goes: the whole secret revealed!

the pics are numbered, so there's no need to say that it reads from top to bottom and left to right.
it covers the markings' part in detail, but not the whole cutting-off, tail reconstruction and glitches fixing.
oh, forgot to mention: on step 3 i've also fixed the hooves.

i chose to add a blanket appaloosa, two ermined socks, two normal ones, and a star with a thin stripe. i tried to cover the most common markings in the most commonly found body parts, but of course the techniques can be used to any markings.
one thing i forgot to cover was how to make the eyes blue - but using the same strategies i'm sure you'll get there. if not, feel free to ask, but please, try to do some research before requesting something - maybe someone already did it.

comments and critiques very welcome!!!!!
