Description "Szikrázó
Az égbolt,
Aranyfüst a lég,
Eltörpül
Láng-űrben
A tarka vidék.

Olvadtan
A tarló
Hullámzik, remeg,
Domb fölött
Utaznak
Izzó gyöngyszemek.

Ragyogó
Kékségen
Sötét pihe-szál:
Óriás
Magányban
Egy pacsirta száll."
/Weöres Sándor/

So, that's why I prefer graphite to colored pencil... Graphite is clear, simple, elegant. And I can't use colored pencil, as you can see...

And sorry for the dirt on the paper...

Beautifully done. The only thing I notice is that the mane looks rougher and not the silky beauty of the rest of the piece.

Still, absolutely stunning.

Beautiful! I'm really impressed by how well you captured the sense of movement, power, and grace with the muscle lines and the arc of the neck.

amazing color and muscle detail! This is colored graphite? I've usually use colored pencil, but I like the effect you got here! Would you say graphite is easier to blend? I have a terrible time blending colored pencil to look the way I want it.

No, sorry, these were simple colored pencils and aquarel pencils. Aquarel pencils are quite easy to blend, but it doesn't always pay, the drawing looks dirty, as you can see here: [link] Now I simply try to do lighter hues, it's a lot of work, but it looks great if there are deep shades, too.

ooh ok! I use prisma colors, because someone told me they were some of the best to use. I've never heard of Aquarel, but I will have to try them out!

Oh, I don't know about that. I think you can use them damn well. This is such a beautiful piece, and the color does make it stand out. What I can't get over is the detail you incorporated into it even with the colored pencils. That vein in the hind leg just boggles my mind.

Beautiful, beautiful drawing. You work so well with colored pencils. I'm a little jealous, lol. But really, in all honesty, this is gorgeous. I love the motion and the attitude, and I adore the highlighting and shading. Fantastic work.
