This is a how-to on giving your model a fuzzy texture.

How To Give Your Pony A Furry Coat

For this how-to you'll need a couple of things.

• Modeling Paste 
• Gesso
• Sponge/ dabber tool
• Paint Brushes (A hard brush, not a soft one)

First off you need a smooth model. It can have a mane.

Next, mix equal parts of the gesso and modeling paste.

Using the sponge, dab some of the mixture on the horse's body.
