Description This is my entry for the #The-Saddle-Club club's jumping contest. It didn't get a single vote and the piece that should have won the contest came second. Whatever.

I'm not EVER drawing rock mountains again. I smoothened the horse's shading so that it's wouldn't blend with the background (if you don't know what to do with these little erasers that are at the top of pencils, try it). Done at last ! I'm not too happy about how the grass came out, it should have been



Dimensions : 21x27.9cm
Time spent : 'bout 4h

O.O Wow. This is an amazing picture! It should have won the contest! The angle and the shading look really great. This is miles better than anything I'll ever be able to do.

lol, you're right. I chose carousel horses because they're flawed....I should try some new angles, instead of worrying about perfection! Thanx.....^^ *runs off to try it*
