Yup, another horse. I need to learn how to draw something else.

So many tests coming up lately in school, I decided to start a larger project to work a bit on everyday to help clear my mind. I'm very fond of Egyptian Arabians, so over the past couple days I worked for 10-15 minutes at a time on this portrait. I'm actually fairly happy with it. It still needs some tweaks, but I decided to stop before I ruined it. This is the first photorealistic portrait I've done in ages. My hand is dead.

About the Egyptian Arabian:
"From the first documentation of the horse in Egypt, they had already established themselves animals of the greatest importance. They were loved, admired, and cherished by the noblest of men and the desert nomad... Bedouin warriors mounted on their finest Arabian steeds proved to be invincible as Islam's power spread throughout the civilized world. ....Solomon, King of Israel built 40,000 stalls for his Arabian horses....
...More recent history of the Egyptian Arabian begins with the Turkish ruler Mohamed Ali the Great, during the time Egypt was a province of the Turkish Empire. Mohamed Ali bore a passion for collecting the most superior horses in all of Arabia. He built palatial stables and used every means to collect the best. Mohamed Ali demanded Arabia's most priceless Desert horses as terms of a peace treaty with Arabia. His collection brought to Egypt, 1,100 of the most beautiful and valuable Arabian horses in all the world....

These horses have the most gorgeous eyes and lovely heads.....I don't think I've ever actually seen one in real life, so that's something I need to do before I die.

Enjoy!

I never rode them, but I ride shagya arabians, they have a lot in common. You can see a photomanipulation of me and the best shagya at the EC where I ride, who won a gallop race with my instructor last summer He's name is Shamir.
