Day 3 - Equestrian Cottage

For the EQD Artist Training Grounds Day 3

Wow, my first attempt at something without lineart! And look! A more elaborate background! Thank goodness I didn't take the easy route and insert a flat backdrop. This was great experience!

And yes, it's a parody of "American Gothic," but that's the first thing that came to my head for that day.

Hope you enjoy!

Self-Critique:
This turned out better than I expected. However, there are some things I still need to work on. I feel I still need a better grasp on lighting and shadows. I also need to practice on making smoother pictures (some parts of the piece still look a little wobbly). Color needs work too. Bonbon seems to blend into the background a bit too much. Also, I need to build up more patience to finish stuff like this.
