I don't like horses so much but I think you're very talented

Ah, it's been years since I actively browse and comment. Hmm, it looks like you're a pencil artist like me. Your art doesn't look bad. As a matter of fact, you're quite OK. Just one thing is that you might wanna try more contrast. I assume that she's brown, so that means your art should be darker in most parts. Also try to smudge lightly with tissue paper and your finger behind it, never a bare finger, mind you. Smudge across the direction of your strokes and you'll get rid of the white gaps and get a smoother look.

Wow you're improving. So I have a critique.

For me, your strongest area is right around the forlock and the ears. I like how you've got the individual fuzz in the ears detailed. I see so many artists skip that. Your shading has come along too and that's why I'm agreeing with the comment above this. In your practice sketches see how it looks to make the shading darker. like around the neck and chin. You could even shade more under the forlock and the front of the face. Sometime going to a heavier paper, and a softer pencil helps with making areas darker.

As far as the way the horse's head is put together, I can tell you paid a lot of attention to the shape of the nose and the head. That very nice around the nose, an area I still struggle with. The eye seems a little small to me, but I'm not the one looking at the photo.

Again, I can tell you're improving.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I put it to good use in the final version.

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it. Yes, the eye definately looks small. I made it larger and shifted it a bit to make it look better in the final one. I was more liberal with using darker pencils. Smudging also helped. Once again thanks
