Description Well, got me in the mood to draw some centaurs again (not that I usually need my arm twisted or anything to draw centaurs), so I spent some time having some fun and playing around with my Medani centaurs.

Top left: a mama centaur and her colt.

Top right: Big ol' draft-type centaur, just taking a break from a hard day's work. He looks like he'd be the cuddly type of guy.

Mid left: That one just makes me smile. Hey, centaurs need to stretch, too.

Mid right: Well, last time I did centaur sketches, I had a feeling he was going to become a character... and he did. Kiraz has some sort of history with Trev, but I'm still working that out. No armor this time, so he's either sparring or got surprised. Very fun pose to do. I plan on coloring it, hence the ink.

Bottom left: Another lady centaur, this time an archer. Went for a more Mongol-type bow. Again, considering coloring this one.

Bottom right: Soooomebody's not happy! He's also blushing, so probably dealing with some insufferable flirt.

Might color a few more of these, but for now, just starting with Kiraz.

Absolutely love your sketches. In particular, I like how flexible their 'ankles' seem to be and how fluid your lines are. I hope you don't mind, but I referenced your drawings in a self-made art course (giving credit to the original of course!)

Thank you! I try to keep things lively in my art (sometimes with more success than others). Good luck with your self-made art course, and thank you for giving me credit!

These are lovely! It's cool to see centaurs in creative poses like this.

I bet! I hope to try out a few more centaur posesΒ in the future as well, though I wonder how the characters I draw will adjust to them, with their body types (one is a very chubby older Star Trek character I've suddenly decided to make up a centaur form for, and one is my OC IΒ often draw with him as his adoptive daughter, who in centaur form isΒ a teeny-tiny Shetland pony type! )

Anyways, you're welcome!

*laughs* Funny you should mention the heavier-set pony-type centaurs... I included one in the centaur sketches I just posted yesterday! I think your OCs should be fine. Good luck with them! ^_^

This sitting one and the flexing one's back leg are what did it for me. So cute!

Oh wow! You make them look so natural. My two favorites are the upper right and the middle left. I want them! They're so cute! I think the upper right one is my all-time favorite, though.

Kitsune64 In reply to MourningWolf95 [2010-03-25 03:46:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^_^ I'm glad you like them. Middle left is my personal favorite out of this batch, though.

MourningWolf95 In reply to Kitsune64 [2010-03-25 23:49:47 +0000 UTC]

You should really color the upper right one, though. He's so cute! :3 I want to color him! Does he have a name/personality/etc. or is he just a random sketch?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Kitsune64 In reply to MourningWolf95 [2010-03-26 19:36:22 +0000 UTC]

*laughs* Well, he's definitely got a personality, and someday he might be a full-fledged character, but for now, he's just a random sketch. I'll keep him in mind for the next time I want to do some coloring practice.

If you do color and post him, just let me know so I can see and remember to link back here in your description. ^_^

I really like how soft and pretty everything is. ^^

Your way of drawing anatomy is great.

It also helps that you drew centaurs. They're awesome. c:

I've always wanted to draw one, but I've never liked how they've come out. I kind of fail ar drawing animals. XDD

My favorites are the mid right and the bottom right. The mid right is amazing because of the fluid motion, and the bottom right is just adorable.

Again, lovely job!

See! See! Another reason to do a centaur tutorial!

Just pestering. You helped me get it. Now you've made me into a Centaur/Satyr drawing monster. A MONSTER I SAY!

Sense that satyr tutorial, I haven't been able to stop drawing. This is just so great.

Oh, no problem! I was actually going to my scraps when I accidentally clicked general scraps and stumbled across this. I'm very happy I did. It's lovely! ^^

Well, these will be helpful for my current project... *steals away as a reference*

Seeing some of the sketch work beneath the centaurs will be exceedingly helpful.

Oh, and I've done two more centaur pictures. I told you of the messed up one, but I have one I think wont need any editing to get it to look right! Yeah me! All my practice paid off in the end... seen as the one that came out good is for someone else...

I kinda hope you don't mind, but I am going to be kinda stealing the bottom right pose. I have had that one in my head from the start, but couldn't figure out how it would work yet!

I don't know how you knew I was looking for that pose, but you got it spot on!

(Not really stealing it... but I will be doing some major referencing to it. AS I said, that pose was haunting me for probably a week now with no end in sight.)

Tesunie In reply to Kitsune64 [2009-03-20 02:08:35 +0000 UTC]

Actually, they have been a huge help. I was going to go on a picture search for hooves, but you provided me with an answer with this perfectly timed sketch work of yours.


Oh, and looks like you really didn't need much practice! I agree with someone else here, you make it look easy to attach the human torso in a manner that looks like it belongs. I'm hoping I'm pulling that look off myself, but I'm not sure. Only one way to find out... TO DRAWING! *Sticks pencil in the air like a sword*

Kitsune64 In reply to Tesunie [2009-03-20 03:53:32 +0000 UTC]

*laughs* There's always a need for practice. No other way to get better, after all, and besides, it's fun. ^^

I guess the best way to think about the human/horse melding is to NOT think of it as a melding. It's a centaur - you just have to think of it as a whole.

As for poses, honestly, the easiest way to get ideas for centaur poses is to just look at a lot of horse photos. You might be surprised what you come up with.

Tesunie In reply to Kitsune64 [2009-03-20 03:57:04 +0000 UTC]

Well, you said you need to practice your centaur skills before doing a tutorial... (Kinda joking here. You don't have to. I just seem to like to pester is all. I'm very good at it.)

Ananisapta [2009-03-20 00:22:55 +0000 UTC]

You always seem to manage to make the horse-human melding look natural, rather than just a human torso tacked onto a horse's neck. Great stuff.
