Black To Buckskin Tutorial

FULL VIEW IS A MUST.

I realized there really aren't enough tutorials taking a horse color and making it go from dark --> light. And, it can be kinda complicated, because most of the time there are parts of the horse you want to keep the same or you want to keep the original texture/shadows/highlights.

Hopefully this helps solve some problems. If you would like to see the manipulation I came up with while making this tutorial, you can view that here: [link]

The little miniature horse in this tutorial can be found here: [link] Thanks so much to horse-fangs for this stock photo(:

Oh, and if you use the tutorial I'd definitely appreciate a comment or a favorite or something. You can send me a link to your work if you'd like, I like looking at it.
