Description
Here is the final piece in my three-part series, the dressage horse and rider. I took my time on the background on this one more than the others; I think because the horse was so light and required less work, I was less impatient and therefore more inclined to pay more attention to other things.
How did I do with the lighter horse? I have little experience with those thin markings on the legs, so let me know.

This was drawn with 2H - 8B pencils. WIP soon to come!
I hope you all enjoyed this collection! Thanks for looking.

Will you do a guide video? How do you draw the finish to make it so realistic?
Im also drawing horses... i love to draw, but i need the finish off drawing muscles and the face of the horses so it look so realistic as your drawnings.....
I would be happy if you could help me a little in a way....
I love your work!... Loooove it!

Gorgeous horse! The drawing ain't too shabby either
Seriously though, this is a fantastic picture and I hope you're pleased with doing such a good job! All the details on this pic seem right, such as using lighter edges on the rider's dark jacket and helmet to distinguish them from the background. The stark black bridle and markings on the legs draw all the viewer's attention to the horse, and you've captured the sense of carefully controlled movement very well. I think you've done a great job with the shadows and the markings so that the horse is fully realised yet it still stands out in stark contrast to the background.
And I'm gonna stop there before I write an entire essay on this picture. Great work!

Oh, thank you! Well, I'm hopeless at anything digital, so I guess we all have our areas.

u did pheonominal! the horse is light but not washed out or flat and all. the markings, so to speak, on his legs i think u did very well on. they flow nicely and dont stick out in an odd way. ur background looks good as well (granted i LOVE everything u do lol) had to of been very tedious kudos for to have taken the time on it i'm very much so still anti-background on my drawings. a wonderfull piece overall
