Description
So, my cousin has been nothing short of begging me to draw her something for her for AGES. And I felt like I had an obligation to put other stuff first, like trades, contest stuff, gifts. But that was like over a year ago...... plus I felt like it had to be "perfect" for her. Alas, this is far from perfect, haha! But I'm pretty happy with it
I love the horse's color, it was a lot of fun to do! We were originally thinking about adding some unrealistic colors in too, but I was super pleased with her like this!
I like the color scheme in general, blues being my favorite
Hope you all like it!!
Here's her reff: [link]
So, still pretty busy with art, slowly diminishing the list though. Have 2 trades, a possible adoptable, and a few gifts, as usual

Ha ha, I live in Australia so I have absolutely no comprehension of cold weather, cold here is what many people call a nice warm day.

Argh! I just wrote a long comment when my internet had a moment and got rid of it. I shall try and remember all that I said.
WOW!! This is just stunningly beautiful, really, really amazing.
The horse for starters is just gorgeous, I love her markings- especially the contrast between the dark brown and the white. But I just love the shapes of the markings too.
She just fits so perfectly into the background! And WOW what a background. It's so beautiful and wintry and bluuuuue!
I also love the way she's kickin up the snow, it gives the picture so much movement I almost expect her to gallop off!
Just simply stunning!

Gosh I HATE that!! I do it all the time, or push the back button too many times, and then it gets erased I want to kill my computer when it does that.
Thank you Ellieeee!!!!
I'm so happy with her coloring, it turned out way better then I had expected And she's actually creme there, but it does look awfully white doesn't she?
And YES! Her markings were SO fun! I thought they would be super duper hard to shade, but they turned out to be not so bad
Yaaaay! I'm glad you like! It was fuun
And it was inspired by one of *Goodbye-kitty975 's pictures, looks so awesome!! And Audrey said she liked the way it looked, so I figured it'd be a nice way to jazz it up
Thanks again so much
I adore your comments love, they make this all worthwhile. And they make me smile, like all day!

OOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo
pretty.
Ha, I see some white on that horse. Talking it slowly I see? I feel lik that might be the title to some song that some emo band I listen to sings..but that is besides the point of this picture. I feel like your backgrounds mature each time, meaning that each background slowly gets better. I deffinlently like the fadiness at the bottom with the snow on the ground with all of the snow dust being kicked up. It kinda looks like she is kicking up star dust.
THe cool blues are really nice also and how they shift in the clouds as well as the skye, they break everything up a bit but it still seems together. AND YAY FOR BROWN HORSES. Theya re alwyas hte best, I really like that position that you put her in. And the chucky mane is to die for.
btw.
the east coast is the best place of the states. just letting you know

Hehe!! Thanks so muchhh!! Actually it's creme, but it looks white don't it?
Haha!! Yeah, almost sounds like a song title of some sort huh?
Awwww!!! Thanks so much! I'm so happy they are looking decent They were SO bad for the longest time!!!
But I'm finally getting more and more satisfied with them, except grass. I still hate that
But yes! The snow was sooo much fun and I'm happy with the turn out Yesh, magical star dust. I larve it
Thanks!! Took me a while to get the colors right, but I like them
YES! Brown horses are awesome!!! They have to be my favorite to shade at the moment Dunno why, but they always turn out looking good in my opinion
Thannnks, should I go back to them? I haven't decided yet....
Yaaaay!!! I'm SO excited! You live somewhere over thar?

I really like this one! <3
The background is very nicely done and the snow spraying brings all the attention to the horse, whose anatomy is spot-on!

Thank you so much!!!
Aww, thanks! It was a lot of fun Inspired by one of *Goodbye-kitty975 's amazing pictured of her horse running through some snow and kicking it up in quite the artistic fashion
It's all in a good reference

Really lovley one! It's really artysy of you putting the"object" in the side of the drawing. A really great artist told me once that the drawing becomes nicer to look at..and more...artsy, if one not have the "object" in the middle! Maybe i should start taking the tip more seriously xD It's really great! Love snowscapes (=

WOW! That is gorgeous!!! Those mountains are getting better and better everytime you draw them! And your clouds are always the best part! Look, you even got hoof prints in the snow! I always forget the hoofprint part... I absolutely love this, I'm sure your cousin will too!

Thank you so much dear!!! You are such a sweetie
Thaaank youuuu! I do love me some clouds
Hehe! Those were a last minute addition, but I'm glad I did
I suck at shadows, they're my biggest fault.
Thank you so much! I hope so!
