Tag As FavoriteComment		He's a shire who lives in the Shire, of course! Who knows why hobbits would have such a huge horse, or where they got him, but they love him all the same. He's sort of like their mascot, a pampered gentle giant who especially loves the little ones. Watercolor and colored pencil. I forgot to make their little feet hairy. Ooops. Maybe I'll fix that later.

How the heck did she get up there?!

I know how the little hobbit got up there2 Wait for the horse to put its neck down, stand sorta astride the neck and slide down on to his back

That's one suggestion. Another way for the hobbit to get up on the horse's back would be to climb up the leg like it's a tree trunk or something. ^_^

By the way, very nice picture. 2

Im jealous of your command of colors and texture....Extremely jelous!!!! .... The only picking i am gonna do is say that the head is a little too small for a draft....Beautiful otherwise....Love it

*slinks away muttering "talented people.....Im jealous...Darn it..." to herself*

Oh oh. Now you've gone and brought out the horse freak in me. *lol* I love, love, love draft horses and this one is gorgeous. Those highlights on his silken coat are just downright delicious!

Actually, having a Shire in the Shire might be very handy. Just think of all the little hobbit stuff he'd be able to carry with no problem, including a bushel of little'uns on his strong back. Whee! Besides, Shires have bottomless appetites and abundant hair on their feet too so they would be right at home amongst hobbits. 1

I like all your creatures, even this (real) one. Watercolour + coloured pencil is such fun...

:-) Julie Raymond replies: "Thank you! Watercolor and colored pencil are my favorite materials to work with. Even better together!"
