Description Happy Birthday to everyone with a 'beginning of January' birthday!

It's Rowan, Sloane, and Travieso!

Unfortunately, I learned that and have the same birthday as me too late and couldn't add them into this piece So, make sure you say Happy Birthday to them too!!!

Another picture of *sweetbay *Equinus and I! Dana's birthday is today, *sweetbay 's is January 5th, and mine is on the 4th! Yay for our birthdays!! I was planning on making this a LOT better. Let me tell ya I worked for days on Trav, then all of a sudden, it was New Years day! And I still had to color Sloane and draw Rowan and do the background I drew the horses going from right to left, and in each one you can see them progressively getting WORSE.

I have ADHD... drawing pictures realism with more than one horse fails for me because I get bored... that's why I reverted back to a more cartoony feel on this one Sorry guys.

Oh yeah, and no crits on the background, I spent about 10 minutes on it

I really hope everyone has a delicious birthday! And I hope *sweetbay and *Equinus like this

Remember my nasty gift from last year?

PS: Like my watermark?

GAH! Oh goodness Sara, this is just beautiful! Aw I can't stop staring at Trav! I'm so sorry I'm only replying now, I wish I'd seen this earlier! I tried to view it on my phone, but it kept freaking out on me!

I can't believe we all have our birthdays around the same days! We should do a collab for our birthdays! Hehe one giant party for us! Thank you so so so so so so so so so so much for this, I really and truly love it! And you've grown so much, artistically, it's amazing! You should be so proud of this, it's just gorgeous!
Happy belated birthday to you Sara!

It's okay, I knew you were on vacation

Nawwwww!! You think? Thank YOU so much, Dana!! And I'm really glad you like it

I am an atrocious slacker for not getting around to commenting sooner, but my GOD! you are getting so amazingggg girl!
The shading is impeccable, the poses are excellent, and just wow. The composition looks like three horses that could be in just that position.
Well, except maybe Sloane and Trav.
But thank you so much! this is so cute, and this is def my favorite dA tradition.

Haha happy early birthday! x3
xD I know what you mean with the multiple horse thing. I usually can't have more than two in a picture because I draw so big and everything. If I ever need more I draw them in separate pictures. xD

I'm loving how there are no lines! I've been meaning to try that more and I actually have a piece that's sitting in my folder, waiting to be finished. xD
I just love the detail on Trav, she just looks so gorgeous! The others look great, too, but I think my favorite would have to be her. x3

I love the way you do manes and tails, too. <3 Do you think you could tell me how you do it or show me? I can't do hair anymore.. mine just looks like a sheet of color. Dx

BrokenHoofbeats In reply to Pooz18 [2010-01-03 17:21:22 +0000 UTC]

That's a good idea to do them separately. You should definitely finish your no-line pic! I'd like to see it

The hair I hate doing hair!!! I don't put that much time into it BUT! I could next pic I do, record it and put it on youtube to show you!

Thanks so much

Pooz18 In reply to BrokenHoofbeats [2010-01-03 21:07:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it helps. xD I shall finish it later.. It's a different one from the one I drew you. x3
I hate doing hair, too. xD I try so hard on it and it comes out like crap. >o<
Oh that would be wonderful! Could you do that, please? : D

TarriedSea [2010-01-03 03:38:14 +0000 UTC]

Oooh, I just LOVE your lineless style! I can really tell how much effort you put into Trav- there's something about the way she's shaded or the detail that's amazing! I laughed when you said you get bored drawing realistic horses- that's the stuff I live for! (well, not really, but you know. ) And I do love the watermark. Great job!

BrokenHoofbeats In reply to TarriedSea [2010-01-03 04:40:12 +0000 UTC]

Doing stuff without lines is a pain in the butt!!

I know, I really wish I had put that much effort into all of them. If I hadn't procrastinated so long, they all may have looked that good Though I must say, her reference was the best too Hehe, yeah... I get bored with anything really

Thanks very much
