Description
This was a different pose for me, but something about it looked like a lot of fun - and it was, of course.
Despite all of that tack (gasp) I had a rather easy time of it; I'm able to look at it now and think, "Yeah, I did all right here." 
Opinions? The ref does not belong to me - however, I simply can't find it. How I didn't remember to save it, I don't know.
If anyone knows who it belongs to, let me know and I'll be sure to give proper credit. This is a 9x12, drawn with HB - 8B pencils.

Man, where to start this comment? With the dramatic pose and the rolling eye? With the intricately detailed tack, right down to the tiny stitches warping with the curve of the leather? With the fine details of the skin of the muzzle? I don't even know where to start with this pic, because it's bloody fantastic everywhere I look

Yeah, it takes forever to fully dry. But I really like working with it - apparently acrylics are really frustrating because they dry so fast and don't blend after that. I don't know, though, since I've never tried them. I don't think I could ever work with watercolors, since you can't cover anything up. You made a mistake, it's gonna stay there.

Acrylics can be frustrating at times but there is a tihng one can buy to make them dry slower or just like me mix them with some water

I heard from one artist that he tried the product that was supposed to slow it down, and it just didn't work the way he wanted it to... I'm almost afraid to try anything else now!
Haha - very true.

Is this really a drawing?
I think itΒ΄s a wonderful work
How long do you take for this?
And since when do you practice?

Hee hee - than you! Well, this one took about one whole day. So... over eight hours, I think. I, of course, practice all the time.

I know about a photo that looks kind of like this... but I don't know if it's the original... becasue the horses head are in slightly other angle and the bridles dosen't look the same.. have you already found the original or do you want me to send the one that i find similar?
