You're welcome!!!!! And here is the website......... [link] oh and "he is a "she" you will LOVE her art!!! I emailed her many times, she is very nice, I asked what she would charge for a portrait done of me and my horse............she said there was a two year waiting list, which would give me plenty of time to save the $2,500 it would cost to have her do it If I were her, I would keep my eye on you you are very good!!!!

thats freakin awesome!!! id say its not the shoulders but that one stretched out leg on the right. if u going to have it in that position there should be more length shown. but other then that this is scary good.

Fantastic! That perspective is hard and you did an stellar job! Nice shading, though the only thing I would suggest would be to make the darks darker in some spots, like the eyes. Well done!

andpie [2005-04-10 07:40:46 +0000 UTC]

I thought ordinary pencils are graphite also, you might have wanted to make it a bit smaller before you submitted it, I have quite a high-rez screen, and it doesn't all fit.
I guess its my fault for having my settings set to auto full-view

But as for the drawing, its pretty good, especially for someone who normally works digitally.
