I need to push myself harder next time. And this is my firt time doing a background... YIKES blegh

That really is something. There is alot of movement to the horse.

That's a very good sketch.

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Ooh, an art thread! And I'd say that's pretty impressive.

Not to be a critic but I think the body is pretty big and the curvature of the body isnt right, back left leg is messy, nice job on legs and mane/neck/head though, the tree on the right is pretty good, left two look like they were done very quickly, mountains are kinda confusing, are they snow capped? shadowy from clouds? if so where the clouds? is it water? if so wheres the rain

OMG this is amazing

Beautiful! I love the motion in here. I do agree with IntrepidWolf that the body is a little out of proportion, but I really like the look of the mountains in the background; they look like the Rockies way off in the distance to me. Just keep working, remember, practice makes perfect!

Thanks everyone! The body isn't out of proportion.... it's a belgian draft horse. That's the way they're built.
And I'm horrrrrrible at drawing backgrounds. This was my first try. It was hard. I can't imagine a scene for the life of me. I have to see everything in a photograph.

okay, The butt isn't round enough. Oh, well. It is what it is. lol

You guys are really going to want to tear this one apart. I HATE CHARCOAL. I'm not touching it for a while.

^They are good sketches thanks for sharing. I am clueless with oil pastel.

Thank you When I finish my current drawing I'm fanally opening the warapper on my pastels. I have no confidence working in color, but I have to start somewhere, right?

I worked in black and white so long I had no idea where to start apart from just blocking in color. My son told me about color harmony and he has no problem. I painted a few pictures but have to plan out color completely in photoshop first to feel confident and then I know I will finish cause I see it 2/3 done on the screen.

I had to do this one pretty quick. I'm trying
