Beautiful! I’m in love with how you did the fur! It looks so real and natural! Did you antique?
Thanks!! I didn’t quite antique, although the idea is similar. I took a dry paintbrush, dipped it in copper paint and then I took the dipped paintbrush and gently smeared it into a paper towel until the brush seemed dry again, then I took the brush and applied it gently over the black-painted fur so that the paint could highlight the raised details of the fur. I did that all over, then I took some bronze paint and essentially did the same thing on the muzzle, mane, ears, hooves, back, and tail, but I didn’t do it as lightly. The bronze areas are the lighter parts on the fur.
