Description
This was the first colored pencil drawing I had done after a near 10 year hiatus--yikes yes that longBut a friend bought me the BIG box of Berol Prismacolors, so I had to!
This is from a photo by Robert Vavra, I believe it can be found in his book "Equus"
His photographs are amazing!

you managed to show a pegasus even without his wings - that's fantastic!
you had to have a really inspiring reference - you managed to show the horse with such details that I see how much love you put in it
only one thing (not about the anatomy 
still wonderful drawing!

thank you for your compliment and I appreciate the critique, were I to do it again I would add a highlight around the darker areas to make them more distinguishable
as for the reference, it is from a photo by Robert Vavra, from either the book "Equus" or "Horses of the Sun"

I would rather someone offer constructive criticism if they have a helpful one, sometimes I can see a tip to offer, other times I just see that I like the work
it's not a problem you have-lol, you are very polite about your opinion

Shiny mane! Awesome coloring! I love her/his eye and nose, looks so real. (neck looks a bit strange, but I didn't seen the original pic. Sometimes the reality can look a bit strange to)

oh, ya, this was the first serious colored pencil drawing I had done in about 10 years at the time, so it is a little sloppier than I had hoped, but considering the long hiatus, I was still pretty psyched!
you know you have been lazy too long when it's a struggle :-P
but the color was so fun to do!

I can't even imagine to put down my pencils for such a long time. Well if I'm dead or something like that, but otherwise....

But you've come back to the 'light side'! You started again, and you're awesome (:
Once I had to stop for a few months because my hand was ill, it was hard to make something creative after such a brake... (and after the depression that the lack of drawing, and writing caused) But after 10 years, to began again it seams like a heroic act.

ohh, I always thought so too, but alot happened and between lack of time and well, depression to be honest, I just didn't do anything for a long long time

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed doing it, it was a bit of a challenge, seeing as I hadn't done any serious drawing in a long time before it.

thank you! that was the one that I had to re-remember how to do all the shading etc, as I hadnt done colored pencil for about 10 years before that
I am a terrible procrastinator-lol
