Description
Traditional art trade withHer OC's Jolic, a mix between a Belgian Shepherd, a Labrador and a Newfoundlander (that's why he is very big and hairy), and Scharak, a warmblood stallion(if I can say it like this in English).
They are enjoying a little free run, away from civilization.
I messed (like always) the BG up, but hey, I will only change it, if Ray asks me to. I hope you like it, hun.
If I did something wrong, tell me please, I will change it.
I can see, I also messed the perspective up
Jolic and Scharak are (c) by
Art is (c) by me

*squeaks*
Oi, Nishi I really really like it^^ You shouldn't change a thing
It was a hard task i gave you hear, cause neither me nor you have really known what I wanted
The scene is like I imagined it (I don't lie) You can see that both are good freinds, an they really look natural to me (not fantasy-like) like I wanted them.
Jolic could have had a head more labrador-like (but don't change a thing, it is okay that way!)
You should do more traditional art 
As for the background: Who am I to judge you attempt to draw a proper bg 
I hope you are satisfied with my part as I'm with yours^^
And I can't wait to talk with you again on MSN 
:hugs: and :glomps: YOU!

Thanks and I won't mind at all.
But you are sure you have so much time to write all the mistakes XD
Could take a day or so *lol*

Lol, it really isn't that bad. The Anatomy just needs some work. Your horse has a bit of doglike anatomy.
Horses are tricky, the horse has to flow with the front half and the second. It can so easy to turn the horses anatomy that seems a bit more dog-like etc.
I would really start to study the structure and anatomy anatomy of the horse.
[link] See?
Your horse, the back leg bends very much like how a dog's would. Horses legs do work differently.
[link]
Also becareful, the hair seems rather flat, horses hair flows with them. [link] See how that hair flows with with the horses moment, you want to make it light and whispy.
As for the dog, the fur isn't too bad actually, you just have to practice, but you seem to have the concept down. But the anatomy is off and he's very stiff.
I'm using this picture because it seems like it could be a good pose and has a bit similar perspective : [link] See how he seems to fly, you want to give that motion effect.
Again study anatomy of dogs, I will give you a few more references:
[link] The Belgian Shepherd. See that fluff? You've got that down pretty well, but you want to make sure he doesn't have any humps or really stiff areas.
But because your character is part Newfoundlander I can see why he is a bit bigger and bulkier [link]
[link] Labrador, but beautiful reference for fur tones 
The background, I would suggest finding a good reference picture also and start lightly. Watercolour you have to start light, blend and work with your brush to get those different textures and layers. A nice watercolour book from Borders will help :3
You're art is good though and shows a lot of potential, so keep drawing!

I see, thanks.
Horse hair is my big weakness I guess...I mean it really is.
As for the dog, agreed with the stiff run, but for the body, I just can use the references the owner gave me, because such a mix does not exist (or at least me and her haven't seen it yet). If I change the looking of him, he won't be her OC anymore.
I also guess, it isn't very visible, that they make relatively playful jumps, not straight runs.
Thanks, I will properly change the image anyway, if Ray asks me to.

Of course, I understand

Still thank you very much for your open hearted critique.
I will train my traditional skills harder now, instead of doing all stuff digital. And of course dog and especially horse anatomy

Both are good skills to have

Btw, something that I am asking me the whole time: Why did you commented anyway. I mean, okay, we watched each other, but that was almost like 2 years ago. And neither did I nor did you commented or faved a work of the other so far?
What about this pic gives you the urge to say something to the pic? Is it that bad? Or that good (I think, that answer falls out XD )? Or is it the fact, that it is traditional and digital?
Answer honestly, please.
Believe me, no answer could really shock me XD;

Oh no, honestly, I watch about 2000 people, sometimes I catch people's art, sometimes I don't. I just enjoy critiquing work. I've seen your work and just because I haven't faved or commented on any pieces doesn't mean I don't like it or that it is bad. I simply haven't had time until recently
