Description Fairly quick colored pencil drawing of a horse just to give myself a break from drawing canines for a bit

Colored pencil on 9 x12 Canson Mi-Tientes paper.

Based on this awesome stock image [link] provided by

For a "quick" coloured pencil piece this is quite stunning. The details of the horses muscle structure is especially really well done. The only critique I have pertains to the back legs. The left and right legs appear to both in too much, to the point where it looks as though the horse would trip itself up. This could be an issue with the shadows. The shading makes the left leg appear to recede more than it actually is.

Thanks . Regarding the hind legs - did you take a look at the stock photo I used as a reference? I provided a link to it with my comments about this piece.

Oops, I didn't see the link. At first glance it seemed as though the legs were off but apparently not. Sorry

Thank you so much!!! I'm really happy that you like it. I can't thank you enough for being so generous in providing some of your lovely equine photos as stock images. It can be difficult finding really good stock photos, but I actually had a hard time choosing a photo from your stock because there were so many great images. You have a wonderful eye and it shows in your stunning photography. Thank you again!
