The nose is way too small, the ears aren't in the correct places, nor are the eyes and cheek. And what can I say? I simply suck at drawing manes.
Here it is:
The last drawing I made was in August 2010, which was this one. I must say I was more pleased with this than the drawing of today. But again, sucky manes. I've never been good at drawing hair!
Yesterday I rose on a horse called Proud Lady. To be honest, I'm a little scared of her, because I don't have very good experiences with her. Every time I brushed her she tried to bite me the entire time, and the last time I tried to lead her to the pasture she started rearing. Now, a rearing horse is a very beautiful sight to see and it makes great poster prints and such, but when you're walking next to a rearing horse, it definitely isn't something desirable!
Riding Proud Lady went pretty well yesterday, though. Actually, I think it's been a while since I had such a good lesson! Especially canter was very nice. Proud Lady is, from what I've heard, an anglo-arabian horse, so in canter it feels as if she's walking on clouds!
I conquered my fear by riding on her again, and it went so well that I wouldn't mind if I'll have to ride her again next time. But I will need to work on my fear of being around her at the stable. Because she still tried to bite me a lot.
Hair is so difficult to draw!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIf I may be honest, I like the second drawing more,because of the details. And the hair you draw there looks great ^^
And it's good of you that you rode on Proud Lady again, very brave!♥
I think it's good of you to still try to be near her, and ride on her, not giving up. Good luck with working on your fear, you're heading the right way ^^
The drawings are beautiful! You may have some critique on your own work and don't think it is right, but man... I wish I could draw like that! O__O
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd nice to hear that you were able to ride Proud Lady and that it all went well! And hopefully you'll feel more comfortable around her in the stables and that she stops trying to bite you.
