Description 2009
pastels

This one is my first drawing with pastel pencils. It shows the beautiful gelding Zbaraz, an Arabian Horse of a friend of mine (She got this drawing as a gift...). Zbaraz ran 120 km at an endurance tournament the day before I took the photo I used as reference. And yes... I totally suck at drawing backgrounds.

Yes, maybe I should practice more to draw backgrounds.

How pretty! I just finished my first pastel pencil piece as well, though this is much better than mine. XD Nice work!

Yeah, you did it ^^
Great drawing, love the soft shadows on his body :]
But I think you should do more detailed background :]

AnoraAlia In reply to youngmoons [2009-07-06 12:28:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you're right. But I didn't want to draw some gras or trees or something. That would have been to ordinal for a horse like this, I think. And... Like I've wrote before: I totally suck at drawing backgrounds.
