Description I used my new charcoal coated paper and then a sharp eraser to "erase" this image, then another piece of charcoal to fill in areas i wanted a bit darker. it was a good charcoal learning experience!!

time: appx. 1hr.

That is awesome looking. It also seems like the horses are about to fly off the page.

Good work, sounds like a good technique you used for it to get some good darks. People forget that you can use a rubber to "draw". I use a putty rubber for all of my pencil works to get highlights, etc. Anyway, this is very good work . It's nice to see people experimenting. The anatomy for the horses needs a bit of work, but that is just practise. Nicely composed and i like the subtle ranges of tones that you have got here. Good work, keep it up

The horse in the foreground looks a bit funky, like the head is too long or not thick enough, and the neck doesn't look thick or shapely enough either. But that may just be because it's mostly hidden in shadow. The horse in the background is gorgeous--the entire piece is. I've never seen a piece like this, on charcoal-coated paper. I may just have to stalk you.

equusrevelrous In reply to verekai [2004-06-19 03:38:35 +0000 UTC]

hahaha yes, i really dont like the foreground horse at all. but i feared that if i tried to change it, i would mess it up more, so i didnt touch it. you pretty much picked out all the things i didnt like about it

verekai In reply to equusrevelrous [2004-06-20 19:26:08 +0000 UTC]

I have the same problem. If there's something I don't like about a piece and I try to change it, I end up botching the whole thing, so I just let it irk me. Pain, isn't it.

Beautiful. Very well executed.

I don't know anything about horses but their poses look brilliant to me. The mane -- is that the correct word for horses? whatever -- is a bit spikey on the leading horse. Unless he's a punk rock horse, in which case: rock on, punk-rock-horse.

Seriously though, very nice.
