[Extra] The way it rubs [HQ] (Patreon)

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

Painting an illustration requires construction as a fundamental skill. We use knowledge and personal references from anatomy and perspective to create stuff from imagination (the approaches are endless but always rely on a set of wires, boxes, spheres, cylinders, and the like). I think of it as the mental great-grandfather of 3D modeling and rendering. Today I'd like to bring you something different: an observational study with just a speck of equine imagination. What I love about observational studies is how committed we get not to visual descriptions (which come naturally to construction approaches) but to a visual impression instead. Our eyes are wild beasts. They don't see people or objects. Light is all they can see, so edges get blurred, foreground and background fuse here and there, colors are never undoubtedly what they seem to be, and so on. So much joy! The result of thinking like this is always some form of realism. I believe this kind of practice is an excellent antidote to bad habits that constantly arise during construction routines and to creative burnout. And it's fun, oddly relaxing as well. =^____^=

I'll probably bring more of those in the upcoming weeks. Although the canvas doesn't get as busy as many illustrations, I hope you like them.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention: I recorded my painting sessions and created a nice timelapse for those who enjoy seeing the painting process. The file is attached to this post.

Enjoy!

p.s.: this is an extra painting, an early access submission. I'll post it on my social media in the future.
