I like this one
The detail you did around the muzzle and also the color of the halter. I like the moon in the background, very cute! I think the idea of a star (ya know, second star to the right?) Would have been cool, but a lonesome moon is cool too i like the sparkles around the moon too, It brings out the horse as well to have it in certain places, and not just everywhere. (hope that makes sense!)

Anyway, I think you could have done awesome on some more detail for the horse. Other than that, it all looks great!

Thank you for the great critique! It was just a quick something to finish up a commission, so I just slapped the moon on there so it's not so boring.

The light background contrasts nicely with the dark horse. The horse has a nice look in its eye and the ears are wonderfully shaped.

The moon makes a nice backdrop, however it is far too detailed and detracts from your simple image. A large, round shape with perhaps some soft, diffused shading would have matched better with the tone set by your subject and would not have been nearly so distracting. These things are partly why photo backgrounds generally do not work with drawings or paintings. Too much detail and visual "noise" competing with the artist's work.

You might also consider the size of the work you upload. Presentation-wise most images can get by well at under 900 pixels at the largest side unless they are exceptionally detailed. Working large allows for getting at those little details, yes, but I don't think much is lost on many peoples' work by sticking to smaller image sizes.

Hello again! Although this piece is simple its really nice The lightness of greta's coat indicates a really bright night given by the moon in the background. She looks so sweet and innocent. I think what i would suggest is trying to get a bit more fluidity in the mane as it seems like the forelock is floating about her head. A very lovely piece though
