How to not going nuts with the hair-by-hair

Hair-by-hair detailing can freak out more than one hobbyist. I was freaking out. But then I decided to paint an overo sabino. 

Anyway. You'll need a few things to paint this coat on your model horse.

First, a horse in base coat. Second, paintbrush and white paint. I use a white pastel pencil, too. And of course... REFERENCES ! Look at real horses. You want your custom to look real. I picked up two pictures on the internet to inspire me while painting.



First step : marking. Mark the base.


Then, paint it in white.


And the funnier part... hairing ! Paint slowly, take breaks, and be patient.


In one hour, I almost completed one side. Isn't it funny ? Plus, the result is great.


It's my first hair-by-hair custom, but I think it turned out quite well.

(I'm supposed to study right now but... nope eheh. Still four days and a half of school and then Model Horse, reals horses, and Concerts !)
