Redirect to original
Description Name: River Horse's Golden Star
Barn Name: Star
Age: 15
Gender: Stallion
Breed: Pure Crabbet Arabian
Height: 14.2 hh
Discipline: Hunters and dressage
Personality: Very spooky. It takes an advanced rider to handle him, as he spooks at everything from moving lunge whips to jumps that he hasn't done in a while. He has amazing ground manners and is a superb dressage horse - he still competes in formal competitions. Also, he LOVES to jump. As a rule, he overjumps everything by at least 3 inches.
Other: needs a standing martingale and likes to throw his head up, although once he gets on the bit he doesn't give you a problem.

The lineart is perfect, in my opinion. But it happens something I use to suffer too xD. While the lineart is good, the coloring could be better. If you take a professional drawing without color, you and that professional have the same level. But, the coloring makes the different between you and he/she.

I think your drawing could be absolutely real with a better coloring. On my side, I like the horse like it is right now, but I know mostly people search realistic drawings.

Well, much people can tell you the drawing could be very much better if you draw a background, but I think a white background stands out the horse.

Good luck!

Thank you!Ā  Your critique is really appreciated Ā  I LOVELOVELOVE getting feedback on my art, even if it's not all "OMG I love ur arts!!!" all the time ^^Ā  I'm still adjusting to my new program, so shading is still kinda up in the air xDĀ  I wasn't going for uber-realism like a lot of my other stuff, hence the shoddy shading job.Ā 

Also, the background was supposed to be transparent Ā  (Again, still getting used to my new program xD)

Thank you!Ā  And yup!Ā  He's a bit stockier than an Egyptian Arab and not quite as refined.Ā  If you look here , you can see that that's pretty much Star, conformation-wise.
