Description Portrait of my friend's horse Stella.Β 

I'm hoping to start doing some portrait work of horses, dogs perhaps even people. Hopefully my friend will show this around his stable yard and someone might be interested in getting one done. We shall see.Β 

Copics on cartridge paper, just under A4, around 4 hours? (mental note - time next one!!!)

You have a knack for getting expression and personality into your animal portraits! They are all lovely!

gosh you are giving me the warm and fuzzies too


Thank you so much! The realism stuff is just what's there. If I can see it generally i can draw it if I measure it correctly. I do love the way that copics can be used like this, it's such a refreshing change from all the blending normally associated with them. I'm glad that you are picking up on the character of the animals that was important for me to achieve. <3Β

I'm speechless! It's amazing. You can feel the horse spirit through his eyes. I also can't believe that you achieved that watercolor effect with copics markers. Bravo! i'm sure many people will be interrested to have a portrait of their horse that nice!

thank you so much I'd like to try watercolour but it's difficult to get things all set up and markers are so easy to just do on your lap. I do like this effect too it makes a change from all the blending then blending some more. I basically use them as if I was applying paint, missing out most of the usual blending steps associated with markers - and of course plenty of the colourless blender to soften some of the edges.Β  Β

I like how it has a watercoloured look and the way you did the 'fade away' at the neck is a nice artistic touch. This and the one of Kal are well detailed, so I can definitely see you having success doing commissions of people's horses.

Thank you very much Β 

Yes I think I'm tried to give it a watercolour look. It's on my mind as I'm having a bit of a dabble with actual watercolours ( not getting very far though - markers are far more accessible) I'm also trying not to overdo certain aspects, hence the fade away. I'm terrible for adding just that little bit more and then spoiling the overall effect, so thanks for noticing that too.Β 

I do hope that I might get the opportunity for some success
