HI, wanna be friends (did I ask you that already?)

thanks for the comments.

doing good and have u seen my new drawings?

hello there wuz up!

all right, I can give some tips on shading here (a tutorial is a bit to much work for meXD)
The main thing you can do easily is: have a look at pictures. Draw them, copy them, just look how the shades are on pictures. You'll see that you know pretty soon where the main shading always is. I always look at pictures just to see how a pose or shade in reality looks like. The parts of the body where no light shines on (the belly, mostly also the back legs) are darker, and the parts where the light is shining on (the back, and mostly also the head) are lighter. One tip I can give is: have a look at the muscles of a horse (when you know the main shading). Where "fat" muscles are, there's a bit darker shade underneath it. Don't worry, when you've done shading some time, you get a "feeling" for where you have to shade =) Don't be scared of my talkXD
About blending:
It depends on which media you use, actually. Charcoal is easily blended and whiped out, some pencils aren't so easy. I can, however, give some tips on how to blend with pencils in colour. Black in the light, if it doesn't "shine"  gets a bit brown like. SO when you have a "dull" black horse with it's back in the light, you can draw some brown over it (not to much). When the horse really shines, it's better shaded with white in stead of brown. Brown horses are just shaded brown, whatever colour brown they are (if you want to make it a bit more impressive, you can use a bit red through the fur colour) . White horses are shaded in (believe me, but don't use to much of the purpleXD) grey, blue-ish and even purple. I wouldn't say that the use of purple looks good (purple is only used with very much light, actually) but oh, just give it a try =)
 
I hope this helps, and that you don't feel even more confused... Just try, look at pictures, and you'll find out for sure!

thanks for the comment! :)
the model was hard to draw, cause I don't usually draw 3D things like that.

Yea, it is REALLY hard to draw 3-D things--you did it wonderfully!

:) thanks, :)
