Artist's Comments

After my latest horse I knew I had to draw another horse, in charcoal. I thought it would be nice to try and mix a horse with a girl. I used the same horse as model for my last one, only a darker version of her. As model for the girl I used a picture of a girl from my forum, Jeanine but changed here features and expression a little. I wanted her to look innocent and light against the beautiful dark horse. I originally intended dark skies but as I drew the sky I felt it looked much better with a grey sky with a bit of light near the earth.
My biggest concern was not being able to make it look natural with the 2 different subjects coming together in 1 piece but I think it went alright with how the light falls and such. I tried to give the horse a bit structure looking like small hairs rather than making it all soft like the skin of the girl.
I am happy how this turned out, it has a certain mood I think.

Made with soft charcoal.
30x40cm (12x16")

Art isn't always visual...
:iconyodeladyhoo:
Again, flawless work with the charcoal, but the fact that you used two different models can be seen due to the length of the horse's muzzle in comparison to the girl and her hand. I'm unsure which breed of horse you modeled, but going by the size relationship of the hand to the muzzle, I would say that the animal is a pony or a miniature breed. Yet, the height gives a very different impression.

Overall, the technical work is lovely. I would suggest studying some compositions of people with horses to get the proportions down.

Thanks for sharing.
