Description My black unicorn shapeshifter character, Luath.

Ths is a detail of a much larger pic, but I can't scan it all in my tiny scanner and I am dreadful at photographing my larger works.

Pencil.

Wow, so good! I had my fill of drawing horse anatomy and all I can say is that I won't touch it again... but it looks so smooth and effortless when you do it!

Did you have a particular horse project to work on?

I don't draw horses very much at all. Then I happened to end up with this black unicorn character for an RP and he kind of stuck, so I had to try. Funny, I used to draw horses much more when I was younger. Glad you think it turned out well

Your unicorn looks amazing Granted, we don't see much of his body or legs (cheater! legs are always the hardest!) but everything we see is really well-drawn. Must be all that practice from years ago shining through

And yes, I had some horse-related projects. Eternities ago, I used to have a friend who was very much of a horse person. They taught me everything I knew about horse anatomy, so naturally I made a digital painting of them and their horse at some point, I think it was a get-well pressie when they were sick.

Anyhow, I remember now there must be a sketch of Rodney McKay as a horse somewhere on my hard drive! Apparently I made a stab at anthro *years* ago without even knowing it!

Lots of people say the same, actually - they didn't know anthro was a thing until they hit the internet

Same with fanfic, actually, or at least it was with me. I just called it "stuff I wrote" until I realised that I wasn't alone and hey, look at all these OTHER people writing too!

Thankyou very much! There are about 600 layers of shading on this...oh, maybe I exaggerate but it felt like that at the time.

You make such lovely unicorns ;_; It reminds me of the series by Terry Brooks about Landover.

It's a fairly standard real-world-bleeds-into-fantasy series. :3 A lawyer finds a magic kingdom for sale and buys it xD

This is just lovely wolf, one of the best drawings that you have ever done, I think. The musculature and the shading are just beautiful and brilliantly done, as is the general anatomy.

Wonderful, and I really mean that!

Aww, thankyou, wolf! I haven't drawn a lot of horse bodies as you know, but Luath deserved the effort.
