Description
Well.. more charcoaling. It's an addiction you know.The original photograph is credit to ~SharysAogail and can be found here: [link]
Dear ~SharysAogail . I found your photo on the wonderful ~Equine-Resource and I hope you don't mind I drew it.
I changed it a little, this was deliberate (Basically I calmed the pose down a bit, its not so drastic, nor is the eye rolling, and stuff)I'm still not happy though...far too splotchety, scruffy and flat. expect more experimentation soon, peoples
(Oh, and the camera absolutely SLAUGHTERED it, it's nicer in person)

I really love how you've changed this from the original photo. It looks so relaxed and as though it's simply trying to nose away the flies. Very nice
The charcoal-ness is wonderful...so messy i loves it
Keep it up!

Yes, it is difficult to control and has a mind of its own... Practice can make it exceptionally beautiful though! *knows from looking at other people's drawings*

true...
Do you use pencils or the proper sticks? I only have pencils but even those are a bit daunting to me...

Sticks, or sometimes just lumps of charcoal off the fire (When we had an open fire, that is) I find those more solid, and better for certain techniques, I'd LOVE some pencils, lol. Not that I've ever tried them, but they sound cool.

wow, actual lumps of charcoal... that's PROPER artist!

LOL, proper artist! I'll have to draw a masterpiece with a lump of charcoal... on the back of an old and splintered door. Or something.

That's a great pose. I'm always surprised at how flexible horses are. Whenever I'm drawing them, I always think; "nah... they can't have their head all the way back there like that",.... but they can! This is a very nice drawing. I'm glad you focused only on certain parts of the horse. Good job!

hmmm, not sure, I only know of Paypal for international transactions, but there MUST be another way somehow! I'll look into it.

You may not like it, but I certainly do! Especially the detail of the folded skin under the neck.
