Horse Drawing

[Alice]

So I've taken a break from painting for a bit, it's been frustrating me lately - I won't get into it.  Anyway, this lady at work asked me if I could try and draw her horse.  So I said I'd give it a shot, but I've never drawn a horse before.

I'm kind of proud of what I've done so yeah this is a bit of bragging but I also need opinions on something.  In the background behind her head, should I draw the background that is there or color it in black?

OKay, added some texture to her and I'm finally super happy with her.

[Beefy]

Very nice.

Black background.

[Alice]

Thanks!

[ReBurn]

Very nice. I wish I could draw.

[Alice]

I think she's done... there are a few more things I was going to do, but I'm afraid to overwork it.

I think that's very good!  You definitely have a talent.

[Jessie]

That's very good.  She looks sad.

[VikingJuice]

Most impressive.

Very good likeness!  That is one gloomy looking horse.

[Alice]

I know.   I don't know why she looks so sad.

[Gamplayerx]

She's probably missing Mr. Ed.

[Alice]

Crap, I fixed her eye and that made her not look so sad anymore.  But I forgot to take a picture before I gave it to the lady.
