Description Based on a photograph from a horse magazine I picked up. This took months of work and it took me forever to figure out what to do for a background. Done with mechanical pencil, charcoal pencil, and erasers.

I worked on the horse for probably a good month. The background went much quicker. It's been a few years since I did this piece!

Oh em gee. your shading is to die for. It looks like an actual coat, and not a drawing.

Ahh yours look so much better than mine. You make me want to redo mine so it doesn't look that bad lol.

Gosh, stop being so good! hehe

Aryenne In reply to Jezarae [2007-11-08 03:03:55 +0000 UTC]

Well, thank you! This was my first big jump to my current skill level. I had never drawn like that before this piece. Plus, the teacher made us use charcoals. I hadn't used those before either . . . I think yours looks really good, though. You didn't go anywhere near as dark, but you did really well on it.

Enetan [2007-06-10 10:16:25 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it is only the darkness, but the black eats away a lot of the horses cheek and makes his head look a bit too rectangular.

The sheen on the coat showing off those powerfull muscles is just great! Very beautifull work here... fav!

Aryenne In reply to Enetan [2007-06-12 00:50:17 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I appreciate the fave! That was kind of my intent with the black background. Kind of make him a part of it, but separate as well. My first extremely successful horse. I guess I'll have to try something like this again someday, huh!

Thank you! This is one of my mom's absolute favorites, even though she doesn't really like horses too much! I learned a lot about horse anatomy from this piece, and have just been building on it.
