The detail and style displayed throughout this piece are absolutely fantastic and very consistent. The anatomy is right on the spot, though some of the hooves appear to be shorter/differently shaped then the others. The overall appearance is very stunning and appealing to the eye. The chosen background color may be harsh on the eyes of some viewers and may be something to consider when choosing a color. The placement of shades and lighting all create a very simple yet detailed and pleasant piece of artwork. Keep up the amazing work, I look forward to seeing more artwork in the future.

Many thanks for your critique !
This one is a little piece for a bigger project, in which I will present all of the 6 coats of the Fjords 
I will do the BG when the 6 horses will be finished ^^ !

I really enjoy this piece, and the visual impact brings the eye directly to the well-shaped head and the fine details. The piece was well thought out and very well drawn out. The most beautiful thing about this is the fine coat and texture to the horse's fur. The most interesting part was how you had the forelock hanging down while the mane is clipped and trimmed neatly. The hooves are perfectly shaped. The only little thing I wonder about is the ears look a little stubby, but otherwise this piece is wonderful. Well, it is good overall and I hope you continue to draw such wonders! Very well done.

Please, please, please ย do not take offense, but I am just not a real fan of digital art. Some in the art world consider that snobbery, but it just isn't for me. However, I couldn't not take notice of this one since I have Fjords and one of them is a red dun and I love the pose. It makes me think of my lady every time so I added it to favorites. Glad you are showing the different coats too. So many misunderstand. I even had someone insist my Red Dun girl couldn't POSSIBLY be a full blooded Fjord because she didn't have the black stripe, like my brown dun, and her red was obscured because she was dirty from all the red dirt we have here. It just completely blended in. I thought I was going to have to pull out her papers! LOL

Thx a lot for your comment ! Sure, all Fjord horses don't have all the primitive markings as the dorsal stripe, or the zebra stripes, but they ARE Fjords ! People think they know all about Fjords but they are wrong. As the dun gene dilute the base color of the coat, it's normal that the marking is more or less visible depending on individuals
I love Fjords, I have one, bay dun, full blood, but the zebra stripes are barely visible ^^.ย
So I wanted to paint all coats, with different markings, but anyway Fjords !
I had problems with grey coats, so I stopped, but I think I'll draw the grulla, dunskin and dunalino soon ^^.

You are welcome. Interesting you mention the zebra striping. I have noticed on both of mine that they are far more visible in the summer with the red dun having the more prominent of the two, but her forelock striping isn't as prominent as the rest of her striping. She carries the recessive for the gray so I am hoping when breeding her to get lucky and come out with a gray dun of my own. (fingers crossed) - even though that isn't the most important thing I am looking for by far. Confirmation, temperament and a healthy foal are first on my list.
It is interesting hearing the names for the different Duns you use. Here in the US and the NFHR they are known as Brown Dun (of course most prominent of the Duns), Red Dun, Yellow Dun, Gray Dun and White Dun. It is funny how people are and I am sure it is only going to get worse here now with the movie "Frozen", with the prince riding a Fjord, having come out. I just hope people don't start with foolish and poorly thought out breeding practices due to sudden popularity. It happened with 101 Dalmations - oh the idiocy that occurred! Plus the silly notion that people think because they are such good natured horses that you don't have to "break" them in. I hate that term break, but it is what is commonly used, not how I go about things. They think they are just born ready to ride and forget that although they tend to be a quieter horse, they are still a horse, and a smart one at that who will train them in seconds flat! Those are the people I have heard complain that their Fjord is stubborn which just isn't true, they are just smarter than their owners haha

The shading is amazing well everything! One thing if you add a little bit darker brown or black to the top of the mane and in the tail it would look even better! It's better than I can do

Thanks a lot !
But I don't want to paint a Brunblakk Fjord, so his mane & tail are drawn with the good colors

Yes, that's why I had the idea to present all their coats
If you are interested, you'll find many informations on their coats here: [link]

Fjords are never ever palamino or roan. They are always a Dun. There are 5 types of Dun, those being Brown (90% of them), White, Grey, Red and yellow Dun. White markings such as stars, stripes, white feet etc. of any kind are strongly frowned upon and I believe this eliminates them from consideration as breeding stock. With some of the lighter ones it is difficult to see the dorsal stripe in the forelock, mane and all, but it is there. I have a red dun and a brown dun that are pictured in my profile if you want to see the difference. A great place to see the 5 colors is on nfhr.org which is one of the registry sites.

This looks amazing!
The only thing to improve could be to make some ground beneath the hooves, this beautiful fjord is now floating in the air without wings

Thanks a lot 
But the entire piece isn't finish, I'll do 6 Fjord horses with their 6 different coats, so when I'll fiish all of them, I'll draw a background for them

You're welcome.
I think I now understand what you mean. In the descrition I read something like that, but thought that you were going to make 6 different pieces with Fjord horses and their different coats.
I'm looking forward to the finishing piece and the other wip!
