Description Long time no DA. Yes, I've been gone for months, I've been focusing a lot on my schoolwork, and since I want to do really well this year I had to temporarily ban myself from DA. But I missed doing art too much to stay away for long!

DA's changed, okay, so not that much, but it's confusing me. I accidentally hit the 'make print' button when trying to submit this

I didn't feel like doing anything with characters and such, this just started as a simple pen sketch that I scanned onto the computer because I seriously needed to do some digital art!

I still probably won't be very active though, and when I do post it will probably be random stuff like this

Crits and comments appreciated

Ohhh gorgeous. Perfect anatomy, and that water looks so real... Also the shading- I love how you mixed a little pink and blue into the horse's coat.

Stang girl, that's amazing! I know everyone else is saying it, but you really have improved tremendously. Way to go, keep it up! Not at the cost of doing well in school though Good luck with that!

Thank you The technique I used was actually fairly simple, just a lot of different shades of blue and smudging!

you have improved dramatically! 0.o I love it ditto to what =brightredrose said i adore the horse and more so the background the water looks stunning the only thing that really stands out to me needing change is the horizon line could be blurred a little more .

Thank you!

Oh, you're right, it does look really sharp! I'll fix that when I get back on my computer

Wow you've really improved! o_o Love the waves. And your equine anatomy's gotten excellent--the head to neck to chest proportions especially. The only fault I would point out right now is the rear lifted hock...it looks too much like an inverted knee, with that bulge there in the front. I would almost suggest making it more angular. But the other legs look great!

On the background (pretttyyy wavesss), I think the sand could probably be darker, mainly because of the cloud cover...and because it would bring the horse out more and make it look "ghostly" or what have you. X3

Thank you! Yes, you're right about the back leg, I can never seem to get all four legs right!

You have a point, the horse would probably stand out more with darker sand, I'll adjust that when I get back on my computer that has photoshop (i'm on my laptop)
