Artist's Comments

Available as a print!

I hadn't drawn a horse since I was about 15, and back then my attempts were shaky, so I thought I'd have a go at painting a horse's head to see if I could. I'm pretty pleased with it. :) I might try a full body picture at some point.

A fairy quick painting. I didn't take any notice of how long it took but I did the whole thing today. :lol: I'd guess I spent maybe 3 or 4 hours on it.

I am offering commissions for paintings like this or like Proud, Wild ([link]). If you have an animal character you would like me to paint, I am offering these digital paintings for £50 ($80).

This is beautiful! The color choices for the head are very nice, and I like the fading from blue to white.

I wasn't. :lol: It's just that I never used to draw them very well when I was younger. I guess I pay more attention to what I'm doing now. :lol: Thanks so much! :D :hug:

Oh so beautiful! It's so magical looking. I love the composition too.

I started doing the image just using blue, turquoise, green and white but it really needed a bit of contrasting colour to bring out the form. So peach/pink it was! :D Thank you for your kind comment.

Thank you :hug: I haven't done such a long and narrow painting before. At first, I was going to do more of a closeup and sketched the horse's head much bigger (there was hardly any neck) and it just looked squashed, the poor thing. =P

I love long narrow paintings =D
I love the area at the bottom with all the blobs of colour (still looking at it).

I'd buy a print of this :flirty:

If you bought a print of this you might see how messy my painting is close up :paranoid: [link] <--

Does dA do long narrow prints? =P I might put it up.
