Description I wanted to try a dapple grey for something new, and while it was different, I enjoyed it. This is just an amazing-looking horse (incredible motion!), and such a pleasure to draw. I thank for letting us use their lovely stock.

A 9x12, drawn with 2H - 8B pencils. Here's the original: [link]

Gorgeous drawing!
You truly captured the fluidity of the horse's trot (it almost looks as if he's flying!), and you've done wonderfully well with the shades and tones. However, I think there's a little problem with the mouth... the shading on the horse's jawline makes the mouth look elongated... But when I looked at the reference photo you used, I guess I myself would have found it very difficult to avoid diffusing the shading on the jawline with the mouth. It's nonetheless a wonderful piece, and I faved it straightaway!

Oh, thank you! This truly is a gorgeous horse.
I did notice that, after I was done. Ah, well - I can always look for those things next time. Thanks!

Hi,

Love the movement in this one. Horses are such a fabulous subject
to draw, I find. Great gallery here, too,

Thank you! Ah, what I would give to ride a horse with motion like this... just don't tell my poor little QH.
I'm glad you like it!

amazing! except, unless of course the horse is just like that and i'm being nit picky, the torso looks a little stretched out.

Great drawing of a dapple grey for a first try! Looks lovely!







On a totally random and irrelevant note, the shading of the face really reminds me of the Joker.
