Description This is fun working without a reference. Yeah I know I have a problem with too much contrast but eh, Its fun lol.

I have to thank everyone for the anatomy corrections - they were just great! I am debating keeping the paint markings, i love paint horses and its hard to spend time on a random drawing and not put them in lol.

You can really feel the horse's power and speed in this painting - and you did this WITHOUT a reference?

Too much contrast my foot!

That's what artistic license is for, am I right? Accentuating the parts of your subject beyond reality to portray a certain 'feel' is what separates a work of art from a copy of a photo

I also love the muted swirls of greyish green you used in the background The slight green tint really brings out that delicious rich red in his coat!

I just love all the detail - even working without ref, you're so thorough with everything. You have a great basis of understanding. Um I'm really not feeling very good with my sentence structure tonight but I hope you know what I mean. Something to aspire to, at any rate!
I don't think the contrast/highlights are a problem, it's like they add another layer of interest... kind of a fantasy-reality effect. And it's always nice to see such attention to detail. Also I vote keep the paint markings!!

I'm not to keen on the background right now but the horse is amzing!

I love how you pay so much attention to detail that you work always looks better than a photo. If I were you, i'd keep the markings. they kind of make the horse stand out more.

Absolutely breathtaking.

Your attention to detail just blows me away. You don't forget a thing! From the tightest wrinkles to the smallest little veins, you've got it all covered. And that muscular definition is lovely.

You never cease to amaze me. Gorgeous work!
