SADDLE

OVERVIEW

• Saddle creates a patch of color on the back. It can have a subtle fur texture, be hard edged, have soft edge or be a gradient. It most often resembles the marking on the back of a Silverback gorilla or a blackbacked jackal. The texturing within, fading into the coat gives it a nice effect, and it can double up with Blanket for further neat effects.
