Digital Painting: Tikbalang (Werehorse)

[qyugmo]

Once again, my professor tasked us to paint digitally a rare creature or any popular folklore being. A rumor that I grew since childhood. The Tikbalang or Werehorse

---

One of the most popular and enduring mythical creatures in Filipino lore. The tikbalang is said to be a half human, half horse creature in the mold of the Greek Pan, that is, having an upper body of a human and lower limbs of a horse: the more popular and oft portrayed version has the tikbalang with the head of a horse while the lesser known version has it sporting a human visage. Both versions however agree that the tikbalang has unusually long, powerful legs that resemble the rear quarter of a horse, hooves and all.

I know. I know. I sincerely asked him if it's okay and he said YES. I'm not taking advantage for this so I informed my professor that I'm not the one who draw this and he approved since it's only for digital art. I will make it up to him and we're already for planning for our next project.Luckily, my friend @ishanvirtue helped me with my tasked. He draw one just for me.

Please do check out @ishanvirtue for awesome drawings, epic paintings, and lovely writings!

Now, I will show you my process doing this art.

I. Tracing

• Doing the same thing but this time I'm doing digital painting for this piece. I'm using WACOM Pen Tablet for this process and with a light pixel for the brush

---

---

II. Coloring

• Since it's a mythical creature I'm trying to use mythical or magical colors. So, I came up with these colors.
  

• I also used a new layer for the colors and place it below to the layer that I used for the tracing part.

III. Shading

Now, I will do the shadow and light part. Since, it's just a sketch and only flat subject. I need to predict the source of light for this art.
