Woot, did a watercolor last night

For some reason, I got the drive to paint (yayyy!) and I took it. The result is an image of Hitori, my Gypsy Vanner stallion

This will count for his reference sheet, I suppose. So, with that comes his information:

Name: Hitori
Breed: Gypsy Vanner
Gender: Stallion
Age: 6
Color: Grulla with Gulastra Plume and Chubari spots
Height: 16.2hh
Foals: none
Mate: none
Description: Generally kind, he's a large teddy bear, in essence. He's one for lazy days, and soaking up sun. Though he can throw his weight around and put up quite a fight with another stallion, he's mostly very relaxed and just lets things slide off of his flanks. Why should he have to worry? He's a really easy one to get along with, but if you happen to get on his bad side, you have a lot to deal with.

Alright so, I was going to make him Slate Gray, but I guess he wanted to be Grulla-like? Oh well, whatever he wants, I dont mind

Also, I know there are some errors. I am not a draft-horse-draw-er. I need to work on it, I know. I could sit here and pick out things that are wrong in my eyes for hours, but that would just make me want to delete the image. The only reason I put him up was:

1- most of the piece is pretty cute
2- He needs a ref image, and Im too lazy to make an entirely new one because of mistakes I will see that others will look over

That front leg, the left one, ticks me off so much I, for some reason, thought it would be a good idea to use yellow to shade the white of his leg, instead of blue (which I found out later, on the back leg that came out a lot better than the front one.) So, I did some editing and it just got worse in my mind. But, I finally gave up on it and.. yeah.

Critique is welcome. Maybe you see where I need help in drafts? I know something's wrong with him, Im just not all-too sure what it is however, if you have something to critique badly about the watercolor, then please don't say it. I know where I've gone wrong, and I know how to change it for future reference. This was an experiment, I guess
