Watercolor on paper 2020

It's my second ever attempt of drawing horses, so there might be problems

For a second attempt, it is very well done(: especially the chestnut one. Horses are said to be difficult to draw.

I also love the background, so luminous<3

Thank you so much! I'm really flattered that you liked it
I skipped legs though, and I heard they are the hardest part of a horse to draw

Indeed, this is quite common to see mistakes on horses legs, their conformation or the way they move it. The best way to draw them correctly is of course observation and practise. I remember when I started riding lessons when I was 10, the first thing I did once back home was to draw efter the horse conformation sheet from the encyclopedia, to learn all the names of the body parts I think it helped a lot.

Yes, undoubtedly, knowing the anatomy does help a lot. And being around horses Did you want to start drawing horses when you did the study or was it a general interest in them?

Ah, this is absolutely lovely! The light is beautiful, the colours great for Valinor, and I like their clothes - practical for riding but pretty enough for Noldor. Is it OK if I share this on Tumblr, with full credit to you and a link back of course?

Thank you so much! I thought that clothes should have been practical - it would have been difficult to ride in robes
Yes, please share, I appreciate it
