Description
Oil pastel on cardstock. 8 1/2 x 11Payment for a breeding to mapal 'sΒ FLS Greek To Me . Now just to do the breeding picture and there will be a new foalie~ I thought about doing a story, but I don't know your characters well enough to even attempt it. I'd probably butcher them and that's not really wanted. Nope.
So, long story short... Too many strides, one big leap and a twist to get over... and Isabelle is on her way to eating dirt.

I do love this <3 typical for my big boy haha

He probably chews a new mark into his stall door every time he ditches Izzy on a jump

Whoops! Poor rider xD
Oil pastels -shudders- I avoid those like the plague, I much prefer soft pastels! You did a great job on this though, the colours are blended so nicely <3

Haha indeed... No one escapes without eating dirt at least once in their life.
Really? I do like the soft pastels, but I don't actually own my own case (All of my pastel works were done with my sister's set). I picked these up on a whim and granted, the first couple were terrible because I hadn't a clue. xD But we've settled into a nice working relationship I think. Still working on details, but overall, I enjoy them. Less dust and clean up too.
Thanks so much~

I ate it 5 times 
Haha, yes! All the dust from soft pastels is pretty annoying. I ended up with a rainbow coloured keyboard because of them once, it was a joy to clean up -cough-
I like mixing soft pastels with coloured pencils though, the textures and effects look so pretty <3
You're welcome!

Mm. It's always a good change up of meals.
I haven't done that yet. I do have pastel pencils (Which I did not bring with me as I figured there was no point) which I usually use for detailing. However, I think pretty pastels will have to wait a few years when I actually have an income again, lol.

Looks like quite the exciting pose, and the background's come along really nicely! I bought some oil pastels recently but haven't had the opportunity to try them out yet, honestly they're a little intimidating to me xD
I notice also that we have opposite coloring styles, I always start horse first and background last, though not sure it's the wisest route

I thought that too when I first bought mine and my first few attempts were... terrible. I had to do a looot of looking at tutorials and videos and finally came up with a technique that works for me and looks nice. Baby oil is a great blender and oil pastels are one of those 'layer lots' before it turns out.

Hm, I'll keep that in mind!
....I think you just cracked the code of why I have several dozen unfinished WIPs lying around

xD pft. Backgrounds are boring. Ponies are pretty. Once pretty is done, who wants to work on boring?
