Description
Just a quick sketch of Bue laughing. Found a picture of a horse rolling the other day and it inspired me. XDI intend on colouring this sometime in the future, but for now the simple fact that the image has me laughing is enough for me to merit uploading it's simple lineart. X3
Bue (Best Unicorn Ever) belongs to me. Kthxbye. :3
Oh and also, I'm really no good at horses, so feel free to yell at me about how bad it is or how cruddy the anatomy is. I know the neck is to short (I think) and that the body just looks like a tubby block of lard. X3 Any horse artists or whatevs feel free to nag me!

I was actually suprised to see your name under this pic in my deviation alerts! I was like "woah! she did a good job!"
The body, tail, and legs look fine... actually, more than fine. I like the way you drew them.
The head shape is good too, as is the expression. XD
It's the neck that needs work. You're right, it is a bit short, and it is twisted a bit too far. D8 I suppose you could argue that Bue's a unicorn and therefore does not have the same anatomy as a horse, but in general, the neck would not twist that far.
A horse's neck bends pretty far, but it doesn't twist like you would twist a hand towel to ring out the water. Probably 60 degree tilt to the head from the normal position at best. You've got this at at least 100 degrees. XD
I do love the emotion, and the pose is very good.

Yeah, the neck is only twisted to much cause I wanted you to be able to see her eye. Cause I could get the smile int h eimage enough to get the point across without the eye at an angle that seemed more natural. The only problem is, without compeltely moving the front end of the torso, or compeltely re-working her head, I can't fix it.
But I'd have to rework the entire head anyways cause I have to make her neck longer.
Originally I was oging to her her with the top of her nose almost right along the ground, but her horn kind of stops that. XD
Thanks fer th'

Yeah. 
You know how someone kind of keels over and bends double when they're laughing? You could do something similar by having her neck bend and her chin tucked by her chest and front legs with that same expression on her face.
For still learning, though, it looks great.

I enjoy your puns, whether knowingly or unknowingly.
You want criticism, I can probably report back with suggestions from my girlfriend.
She's the artist, not me.
My only thing is the neck makes me cringe a bit. It looks a little to twisted. Almost broken, but not quite.

Apparently she wasn't done.
sorry,
well....XD sorta nit-picky..but the left back leg is pointing wrong. When horses roll, it seems ther ankles point away from the body rather than towards the head

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but I beg to differ: [link]

nag you.
anyways, I'll just copy and paste my girlfriend's words....
ah,,,,'well.....the uni's neck is broken' << the bending needs to start down lower
Oo hmm....what body-type she going for? Curently I'd say shetland pony....though the chest is really shallow and the neck is a tad too short.
XD unicorns nowadays are usually arabian or of latin descent (aka andalusian)

The neck and everything has been fixed. She has no set body type, she's different every time I draw her depending on how I feel like drawing her.
Thanks though. X3
