I love this piece, very well constructed and very accurate. I see a few things I would pick on such as the hair on the ears dosn't look as in depth as the rest of the face. But really it is a very good piece. I also love the use of shading and how you gave it that grain pencil look. I also like the colours on the outside around the head the yellow and green really makes the horse stand out quite well.

The only reason the Originality was a tad low is because it is a horse head and its not un common. But the technique in which you have used is unique. Love the work keep it up I'd love to see more from you.

Thank you very much for this very kind critique! I'm really honored you took some time to write what you think about my drawing, and I'm happy you like it that. You're right with the ears. I always start with the ears and it seems like I always have to find my way into every drawing at first. Maybe I'll try to start with another part next time to avoid the ears looking other than the rest of the drawing. Thank you for showing me this.

As said before, I'd be honored to draw him for you.
At the moment I'm quite busy, but nonetheless, if you like, send me some photos of him and I'll see when I'll find the time.
