ok, we have our first work in progress! : )

This artist is a beginner hoping to get some tips on how to etch well and learn how to follow complex patterns. Any advice?

What is Model Horse Collectors Anonymous?

In the world of model horse collecting, there seems to be a need for open, honest discussion and critique of new models, works in progress, and techniques in general; many people feel as though the only way there can be honesty is when a critique is given anonymously.

I would like to provide a place where artists (and aspiring artists) can come to get honest feedback if they'd like.

If you have a piece you would like to have put on this site to be critiqued by fellow collectors, just anonymously email me:

*one or two clear photos of the model horse
*a few sentences about the piece and where you are as an artist (just starting out, trying to refine a particular technique, trying to reposition something correctly, etc.)
*any links to reference photos if desired

I will then anonymously post the model and description here so collectors can critique it. Your name or email will not be posted.

My email is orm_emfax@hotmail.com

For people who'd like to critique the models, feel free to post comments anonymously, no names required. I would just ask for critiques to be helpful; for example, if something looks off on a model, don't hesitate to say why and perhaps give some ideas on how to fix it... links to reference photos would also be lovely.

Thanks!
