Description Wow it's been hours! I actually didn't get any sleep tonight. It was raining and extremely hot. Not a good combo.

When I realized I wasn't going to get any sleep, I set to work on this picture that I did for ~Hathien603 . She told me I could do any horse in her stable or Hathien. Well.... I did a horse in her stable AND Hathien... She never said which one.

I must say people are getting easier to draw and line. That's a good thing- now I just have to really improve on coloring them!

I should be tired, but I'm not as tired as I could be. I've been working on this for... and estimation of 10 hours according to the notes. I did the background first- just because I knew it would take the most time. I wasn't too sure about the highlights considering Arya is perlino.

So this is Arya and Hathien taking a break by a pond/lake. I was tempted to use BlackHawk instead- and call it "Black horse and a Cherry tree" but that's a bit on the cliche side.

Oh my goodness!!! I love this so much I don't even-----
I literally clapped my hands together and said "Yay!" when I saw this I can't believe how fast you did it, it's absolutely beautiful!
The concept of this makes me so happy. It feels great out today and this is something I'd definitely enjoy doing Hathien looks gorgeous, you're getting so good at your humans. I think her coloring looks great as well, and the texture on her blue jeans looks awesome in both the zoomed out and close-up views. Arya is stunning, you did a fantastic job with her perlino coloring. And can I just say that I love the new way you're doing your horses eyes? They're so realistic and expressive ^^ The background is beautiful as well, the colors all go together wonderfully, and the pinks in those cherry trees are gorgeous
I'm so happy we could do a trade! Now I need to find some time and get started on yours! I think this one will give me some great inspiration when I do yours
Thanks again, Rose! I love this soooo much

You're welcome. I was all wait- I did something new to the horse's eyes? Then I remembered- I added eyelashes! I have been messing with them a bit to try to get the realistic effect. Blame it on my fascination with carousel horses. I think working on men in the last drawing somehow helped me in this drawing. I ended up adjusting the levels of the picture using elements 5.0 because the piece had begun to look a little too bright.

Take your time, you can do whatever you want with your half I just had the time, inspiration, and energy. If it weren't for those key factors it probably would've been 2-5 days until I got it out.

You are very very much welcome again. It was a hard choice when it came down to your horses. New idea came into head- I'm shutting up before it tells me to do it.

You did! They look like you've been coloring them differently too, or perhaps that's just me being crazy Carousel horses are definitely neat. Their poses and expressions are very interesting.
I'm planning on looking through your ponies tonight to see which of them I want to draw
Hahah! I'm glad my horses can inspire you so well Other people's horses do that to me too

Oh, and although the title for Blackhawk's picture is priceless, I'd much rather be laying down next to Arya. She'd be less likely to trample you
