| 17 Mar 2000 | Chelsea J Deatherage | you have a great talent going on there! you did very well from what angle you have chosen' its not to shaby but will give some pointers. The body should looked balanced,in this case since its in a angle its harder to get balance when you havn't worked with horse bodys before so i sugest you start from a side angle untill you get the hang of it. The legs should be the same length,in this work you have the back legs down pretty good but the front legs look to bent..a horse can only bend there legs so much since there just like humans they only have three 'lock' joints: one close to the 'chest' the knee and the tendon afore the hoof (will try not to get tech.)
The neck should be leveled more and balanced,unless then you should make the legs more stronger and body more bulky since it is a stallion also the head should be more bulker and squard cause like humans,the more buff the more male,right now it looks more female then anything since most mares have longer narrower heads.
But all in all you have a great start,you just need to keep on with it! look at lots of pictures and if you can have a chance,the best to learn how to draw horses is to go see one yourself. Get the depth of everything a real live object will have better then a picture. Keep it up! | |

| 4 Oct 2002 | Talencia Carradine | Just a quick note, partially in response to Chelsea's comment. Firstly, your forelegs look fine... the angle foreshortens them, and they look pretty good to me. The only adjustment I'd make is moving the stallion's left elbow back just a tad, so we can see it and it is positioned a bit less forward on the shoulder. As to his head, looks fine to me too. We are tempted to put our own ideas into how we draw real horses. Each gender has features according to their breed, not according to our ideas, however. Arabians, for example, have stallions with wonderfully delicate, slender muzzles. :  hakes her head:: You can't judge an equine's gender by the narrowness of head or limbs. Of course, we then can get into the ole "and it isn't even actually a horse" debate, but I see no reason to do that. I think it is a lovely drawing with great potential. I really enjoy the movement of him, too! I would love to just take off with him. Great work. | |
| 5 Oct 2002 | Anonymous | Nevermind what the above (above a few posts, I mean) person says about the question of gender...it looks perfectly alright. And if you want to get into guys being more buff are more of a man, pshaw. My best friend is 5'11", 135lbs soaking wet, 16yrs old. He's more of a man about many things than anyone I know. But anyway, I think you've done a very nice job. The only thing that I would do is to make the neck a bit less thick, arch it a tad more, and like the direct above post suggests, move that elbow back. And, a personal preference, I'd make the wings a bit bigger. Shape and look, they're wonderful wings, no worries. -smile- | |
