Description Actually finished a couple of weeks ago but not uploaded due to awful scanner. Done in charcoal, as usual. I'll upload this again if I can get a better picture/scan of it - I used my new camera... at least it's better than my scanner.


Edit: After almost a year, a good scan!

Excellent likeness to the photo! The middle horse's reflection is good too.
I love Camargue horses.

Where have you been all my life?!?

In all seriousness, though... I'm surprised I haven't found you sooner. I'm dev-stalking a lot of the equine artists on da, and this has got to be some of the best work I've seen yet! I lurve it... and in charcoal, no less!

The detail is astounding, but what impresses me the most is how well you got the reflection to match the top! I have been truly impressed

I like the way some of the lines in this are so simple (like in the manes), but drawn in exactly the right place to show the shape of the horses perfectly.

Okay, you have only some of THE BEST hands I have never seen.

Unfortunately for me, you can't really see my best art 'cause my computer isn't upgraded enough for my scanner to work. Xp -kicks-

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the reflection on the water..it looks just right! It is straight, and..looks just exactly like a real reflect..
This picture of yours is almost like a photo! Say, how long does it take to draw these fantastic pictures of yours?

south-wind In reply to MariP [2005-04-28 05:11:53 +0000 UTC]

thankyou! I'm not sure how long the sketching and lineart took me, but I know that there's about 10 hours of work in the shading all up. I went a bit overboard!
