Description So I haven't been drawing anything for ages, let alone horses, and I somehow lost interest and joy in my art. I only made this because my boyfriend wanted me to draw something of the sorts after having a discussion about how I cannot draw fire/flames. This is supposed to be a semi-realistic version of a Rapidash mare.

At first I didn't even want to upload it, but after having been convinced for over a day, well here it is. I'm not happy with how this looks, there's so many things I don't like and it's far below the level I've been drawing on already in the past. I somehow lost interest in drawing and literally had to force myself to finish it as otherwise I would have stopped right after doing the head and neck and that's always been a sign for me not being in the best of moods for drawing as drawings should be done for fun, for the love of the finished picture which I simply can't feel here or with the other unfinished pieces sitting around.

Used colour pencils only for this, no pencil sketch or lineart beforehand. Roughly 1 hour of work.

Note: First and probably last attempt at drawing a Pokemon.

This is really good, drawing such clean and define lines without a sketch or lineart beneath is skill in itself. Dont underestimate yourself
The flames look really cool as well

Thank you, really!
I've gotten somewhat better mood wise since I've drawn this and slowly start to like it too.

I think this looks nice! If I may suggest, you could also do aΒ firebox Β for practicing flames!

In itself, the idea isn't too bad, but this looks way more complicated than starting out simple with candles, maybe some campfire. Thanks for trying to help though.

I'm still figuring out skull structure for drawing horses.

The base form is two circles, a smaller and a bigger one, connected by two lines.
