Description
ARTIST'S COMMENTSI finally decided to upload a reference sheet of my Arabian mare Chrystanth.
Name: Chrysanth (from the Latin name "chrysanthemum", a name for family of flowers), or Chrys for short
Gender: Female
Age: 4 years
Breed: Arabian, although not completely purebred
Colour: Copper-red Chestnut with darker tail, mane and knees. Two white stockings on the hind legs, with two silver hooves. A small diamond shaped star between her eyes.
Eyes: Brown base with speckles of pink, fuchsia and baby blue highlights. Dark brown eyelashes.
Build: Very small and thin body, the refined and concave head is slightly big in proportion to the body. The neck is arched and the back is fairly short. She stands at 14.2 hands tall (147 cm).
Personality: Although she is still fairly young, she is very bright and clever. She is very curious by nature, which will sometimes get her into troublesome situations. She is quick to judge and can make hasty decisions, but she will also forgive and forget just as easily. She loves to pose and play around, but can sometimes be frightened by the smallest noise or movement. Her temperament can be very fiery from time to time, and she is a very proud lady, so beware not to insult her in any way!

Oh gosh, she is so pretty! As are your other characters I think Crysanth is my favourite though and I might have to draw her

What a pretty girl! I'm trying to master the curly hair, it's not working. And it's my first try at realistic art. Hope it goes well from here on!

Thanks, I'm glad you like her! Curly hair can be quite trikcy to draw, and I still don't really know the best way to draw it either

Yeah, I really should draw my own characters a bit more often, poor things I like your ideas a lot, I think Electra would look great on a tropical beach! I might just draw that some day

Sames I can actually draw really well but looking at my gallery you wouldn't be able to tell with school and work I don't have time to do anything creative

Wow, you are sp talented. Love your horse drawings
Can you tell me how much cantimeters 1HH is..?

cerona In reply to Anna-95 [2009-12-30 21:25:56 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! 1HH is about 10 cm, but the combination of hands and inches makes it much harder to convert the actualy height. I've never used hands before, so I had to try and look up several convertion sites to try and get a hang of it!

cerona In reply to BirdGirl89 [2009-12-25 14:59:22 +0000 UTC]
Haha sure, of course you can draw her as long as you don't use the name or colour for a horse of your own intentionally

TalouArtist [2009-12-04 22:57:47 +0000 UTC]
Wow, that is an unusually long tail!
To be honest
This horse looks beauiteful!
Love how her eye splatters with pink and baby blue!
I try to draw horses but the head always looks like a dragon!
Also, I like how she looks so distinctive!
She looks sort of a spring-loving character!
Its awsome!

cerona In reply to TalouArtist [2009-12-06 13:01:00 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! I just love drawing unnaturally long manes/tails on horses, it just makes them look so much more dreamy and pretty
You're right when you say she's a spring-related character, since she's got very warm pinky tones and the dots on her hips remind a bit of blossom petals too. Glad you like her

Its realy good how you can tell what kind of character they are without a data sheet!
