Arabian horse *o* Don't know its name unfortunately.
I think this is one of my best traditional drawings yet :) I love how the head came out, and those eyes, I think you can see it's energy and personality in them. Eyes are a pathway into the soul, someone said, and I think that's one of the most truthful statements ever said.
This was most challenging to draw ^_^


Took me around 7 hours I'd guess.
© to me.
Used 4H, HB, B, 4B and 6B pencils.

Edit: Border added =]

I love the spirit, the look in his eyes! Great work in pencil!! I like th coloring, dapple grey is a difficult color to create.

*I can't do pencil for shiz!

oh yeah, do you feel that the more you work, the better your work becomes but the harder it seems? Color of Fame likewise was the hardest piece i've painted to date. Still, I think this one is one of your bests!! GREAT JOB!!!

Indeed, this drawing is so full of life!! :jawdrop:
Bravissimo! :clap:
What irritates me a bit are the nostrils (they seem a bit out of shape, the front one looks a tad to small, I think...), but.... this could be because he´s "drinking the wind" (<- just read about this a few days ago :) For those who don´t know: When Arabians run their nostrils are getting wiiiiiide to provide them with more oxygen. I think it´s a very poetic and beautiful term :) )
However, the eyes ARE wonderful and I agree with ~Rayeo, the way you did the fur is WOW :D

I believe in the madness called "Now" (X Japan, Art Of Life)

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever (Queen)

The world is what you want it to be - be creative!

Each horse in the world should have a chance to live and run over the hills. Not sent to a slughter house, One day there will be a land where every thing stands as one.....

Thank you! :heart:
I'm really glad you like it. And you may not be able to do pencil, but I can't paint, hehe.
And yes, I do feel that... I feel like I am improving, but this piece was HARD to do. Especially the chest.
Color of Fame was a lovely piece, though :)

I find that the most difficult part of doing a horse is it's muscles. They're so well defined and you have to get the number/look of the ligaments right. I find the legs quite difficult too. ..

Hey, once you can do a horse....everything else comes easy. After you can paint a horse, every other animal is so much easier. Horses are beautifully difficult!!
