So, here we go! My way of making darker coats, the easier way! It works for me, and I think the results are pretty good for doing it the easy way! :XD:

I'm definitely not saying this is THE way to go! It is the shortcut, since you're skipping all the other colours that go with the darker coats, especially if it has blue undertones! Those have purples and burgundies and so on, and they are far more complicated! :nod: But this is a nice, simple route!

So, I hope it works for some of you, if you feel like trying it! :D The same process goes for manes and tails, by the way! I like doing this method for manes and tails more than for bodies, since it brings out the highlights better!


Btw, I used my graphics tablet and Photoshop CS4 Extended! :love:


Thanks for reading!
