Description I'd wanted to do something like this for so long, so when one of my art teachers talked me into entering a student art contest on the subject of light, I decided a horse eye would be the way to go. Even though it took ridiculously long and didn't turn out how I envisioned it, I still rather like it. Interpret it however you want.

I got the reference picture somewhere off the internet, but for the life of me, I can't find it.

Wow, this is so lovely! Love the sharp liquid clarity of the eye contrasted with the slightly soft mane and neck wrinkles in the bg. Pastel is a tricky one.

Pencil/Charcoal/Colored Pencil have always been challenging for some, keep up the good work!

Gosh, yes. After this picture, I promised myself I wouldn't use pastels/charcoal again unless I was forced. I much prefer graphite.
