Placement of design is EVERYTHING (focal point is the horse face).
Pattern should be high as possible to your collar and not directly in the center of your chest. Drawing has the horse facing to the left so should have a light source on the face on left and shadow areas on the far right.
My pattern has included several painting ideas for color layering as well as a photograph of my model horse.
