Another instant fave, I love Andalusians! You draw so beautifully, and you've captured the essence of the horse. Kudos! That mane...

Thank you I was so happy with how soft he came out. It was a definite difference from how my other horse drawing finished.

This gorgeous animal looks like he should be ridden by one of those old-fashioned heroines as she is rescued by her prince. Either that or he would be petted to death at a children's petting zoo. He's just too pretty for words. And how in the world you managed to make his mane look so SOFT is beyond me. I swear I could feel it if I reach out and touch the screen. The way you have his eyes looking down shows his gentle nature. This is indeed one of the nobler creatures and you have done him justice.

I'm not sure how his mane came out that way, but his nose is particularly appealing to me. I just want to reach out and pet him continuously since I don't have a prince to go rescue lol

Thank you for the compliments on him I'm hoping that the next one is so well received.

hehe You're always so brief in your descriptions.

"I drew this with a pencil on paper. Enjoy." You're so professional about it! <3

Ahhh beautiful horse as always. I like the hair best. *_*

I thought about putting a brief summary of each breed in the description, but I thought that might be too much. You of all people know how wordy I get when writing and a short paragraph would likely turn into a page and a half of material lol

I honestly thought the mane would be the hardest part of this picture, but the head actually surpassed that. Shading a gray horse without scoring the paper is a pain! lol

Mad-Hatters-Hare In reply to Ryukotsusei [2008-03-18 02:16:02 +0000 UTC]

haha But I like reading things you say. You never cease to amuse me. ^_^

Shading gray sucks!! >_< Probably worse than shading black, which isn't hard. Just annoying. I'm so lazy!

Ryukotsusei In reply to Mad-Hatters-Hare [2008-03-18 02:20:29 +0000 UTC]

The problem with my method and shading black is my hand tends to cramp up after the first two or three hours. Unfortunately I'm one of these people that once I start on a picture I don't want to put it down unless I absolutely can't hold a pencil any longer. Which is one reason why my sleep schedule is so out of wack. Three pics in three days, my bed is probably wondering if it will ever see me again.

I tend to take breaks so I don't get sick of my drawing and rush it. I'm a horrible artist. xD I can't stand looking at one of my drawings for too long because all the mistakes just pop out at me and make me want to crumple it up and toss it.

And then dA would never hear from me again!

Oh please, I just took a look through your gallery again and I'm tempted to go in and favorite every Hiei pic. Especially the one in the maid outfit

Mad-Hatters-Hare In reply to Ryukotsusei [2008-03-19 23:53:52 +0000 UTC]

OMG! xD He looks like SUCH a girl when I draw him anyway! And then I stick him in girl outfits! BLARG! xDD I'm horrible! I don't even think I like him crossdressing! It's just so damn fun to draw because he's so pretty~!

Ryukotsusei In reply to Mad-Hatters-Hare [2008-03-20 23:51:56 +0000 UTC]

But he's just so cute when you do that. I don't mind, and I doubt that Yusuke does either

Mad-Hatters-Hare In reply to Ryukotsusei [2008-03-21 18:18:04 +0000 UTC]

Hiei's such a pretty man. xD It's sooo much fun to exploit. And lucky for us, Yusuke's a pervert. So he wouldn't care what Hiei wears.

hellslittleprincess In reply to Ryukotsusei [2008-03-19 01:14:58 +0000 UTC]

How about a Klidedale?(I doubt i spelled that right.) You know like the budwiser horses? I don't drink, but those are realy pretty horses.

Ryukotsusei In reply to hellslittleprincess [2008-03-19 04:11:38 +0000 UTC]

A clydesdale could be in the foreseeable future. I'd been debating between them and the Shires for my draft horse project lol

Wow, it just looks so soft, seriously! A beautiful calm expression as well, truly gorgeous! I wish I could touch it just to see if it's that soft in real life too, but I can't get near horses :S

Ryukotsusei In reply to youkobutt [2008-03-17 18:13:57 +0000 UTC]

Andalusians have always struck me as being too soft for their own good. I swear, once I start petting one I know I'm not going to want to stop lol

I wish... When I owned horses I had two Arabians and a Standardbred, although an Andalusian was always a dream of mine. One Day I'll succeed in winning the lottery or robbing a bank and then I'll have a stable full of them
