I did this through more-or-less three tone paints. I did the whole deer on one layer - eye excepted - in a single uniform brown. I picked darker and lighter variations and splashed them awkwardly over the shapes of the body. Then I got a slightly lighter version of my original brown and went gently over the edges to get them the proper shape. The eye was a very dark red with 40% opacity light brown and a touch of white.

Essentially, though, everything here was done somewhere else before during some random experimentation. All those principles and facts I've been collecting build up and occasionally come out all at once. Couldn't have done it without the disasters.

Despite being super scarce around the pony and art threads, I've been sticking to this myself. I'm actually pretty pleased that I haven't crapped out on my New Year's resolution, even if some days were forgettable at best...
Good work!
