Description
UPDATE - here is the coloured version:-----
So I thought I was over the centaur-kick after this one:
But apparently I'm not :3 After realising how pregnant I'd inadvertently made the last one look, I got to thinking about what Centaur babies would look like... and centaur kids... and then I got to sketching.. then this happened :3
This is today's sketch (poses references from the brilliant "The Art of Animal Drawing" By Ken Hultgren), inked in biro, which I'll probably colour up tomorrow. There's still things I'm not happy about (particularly his face) so suggestions welcome!

There is that one thing, that I totally adore in your art style - poses and lines, they look so natural and fluent, making it just so pleasant to watch! Just like illustrations in children book! I swear, I could watch it for whole day, without getting tired!

I'm very fond of this pleasant, exuberant image, that doesn't attempt too much, tells a nice little story, and has great composition and proportions. A favorite!

I agree with the front leg of the girl, looks a little too out there. The rest looks just like what a filly would look like. Not seeing what you are referring to in the boy's face it looks okay to me. Has somewhat Anime type eyes, but it fits the face. Positioning relative to each other looks good. I like it a lot but I am somewhat biased toward the artist too.

Thanks for the input PB!
It was his eyes that were the main problem I think, I shrunk them down a touch and they look a lot better for it IMO
Thanks for the comment as always and for the invaluable input! ^_^

hey thanks so much! I've always loved drawing them but for some reason have barely done so for years.. I guess I'm just starting back into drawing what I want to draw for ME ... it's nice ^_^

Perhaps the only slightly quiestionable thing are the front legs of the girl, they somehow look a bit off to me - but overall it's a great piece, I really love how this one came out! They're the kids of the Centauress, or just unrelated...? :3

darnit.. I just typed out a reply and somehow safari farted and I lost it! x.X
Thanks so much for Ur input and comment!
I don't think they're her kids... I think they're just random unrelated youngsters playing about

Dang, that's always a nuissance when that happens. I've had to retype loads of comments over here that way... >.>
Not to worry - it's not exactly the most common pose ever, I'm really glad you did it in the first place, the dynamic pose makes it such an adorable piece as it adds a certain playfulness to the overall result!! :3
