Description Something about this guy is just captivating. Love Arabs <3 <3 <3

This is my second oil painting ever. I'm pretty happy with the result. I'm almost at a loss what to do next... better figure it out before painting lesson tomorrow! Be gentle with the critiques, I'm a newbie.

I am certain I'll be using more reference from this great stock photo provider, but here's the original of this magnificent creature. [link] Β§ion=&q=arabian+head+ii#/d2r32hv

Update: This won first place in Amateur Painting: Animals at our county fair

I was about to accuse of having your nose to bumpy, but when I looked at the ref. I noticed how it actually did have a bumpy nose

You did a great job! Keep up the great work

When I saw the thumbnail of it in my message stack I thought it was a photo! I think you did a fantastic job! especially for opnly your second painting! You got the face spot on and I think you did a really good job with the lighting.

I'm not sure if it's that or it just needs to be wider through the forhead to jaw area... but you're right, the shape of the head is a tiny bit off. Thanks for the critique.
