Description
This is my half of an art trade with ~ Horse-Pony , who wanted me to draw an Arabian horse in return for a palomino. I'm afraid I chickened out on the body, too, and I really couldn't draw the mane *at all* so just gave up in the end. It looks terrible!
I don't think I blended at all in this picture, at least not with my fingers or anything like I normally do. It was all pencil strokes and eraser for mistakes. 
I'm not sure that worked especially well or not.Anyway - ~Horse-Pony , this is a Shagya Arab for you!
It was very fun doing a trade with you!

The face needs to be a bit more dished, since that's one of the Arab's most distinguishing features. The nose also seems a little bit too big, because they also have very fine noses as well. The detail on this is amazing though, especially the eye and the veins.

Yeah, you're right! It doesn't look particularly traditionally arab-like.

You totally get back at me by living in London. I love London and miss it so. Last year I visited for a week or so and was based mostly near King's Cross. But goodness, I could live at the British Museum for a full year and never be unhappy. *sigh* And hey, maybe I should just draw you mine?

Haha, I'd gladly swap! We do have rather nice snippets of history, but the pollution, greyness and endless freaking tourist traps gets a bit tiresome
I think the British Museum is one of those places where I could get hopelessly lost and really not care very much about it. :nods: You like history?

I loooooove history. Especially egyptology. When I saw the Rosetta Stone, I very nearly died. That's how excited I was. You do as well?

You have some really amazing pieces here. You are very talented! The only thing about this is the mane, like you said, tho it's very far from terrible! It's good, but not as good as the rest of the pic. I have the same problem with hair, it's such a pain! Great job tho! :claps:

No art stores! Ah, I'd never be able to survive!

Yeah, isn't that the worst!!? I am not doing well with it either!

Oh no, that sucks! No digital camera or scanner... Hhm, I can't think of a way round that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it really does suck!! I can't think of a way around it either, hopefully will be at least getting a scanner when we can afford it, scanners are cheaper than digicams, I think..at least the good ones. Sorry about that! Thank you so much!!
