Ok what makes horses so hard? Other than me being really out of practice drawing them.
1. They are big, and most photos end up with distortion especially if taken with a phone camera. 2. They are big, if you draw the whole horse their head and face ends up small, so where to you crop? 3. Their head is always longer than you think it is.
This was a rough morning of painting, several areas are overworked. However I like some aspects of the light, the horse’s nose, and I hope his owner will like the portrait too ^_^
