(edit)I'm NOT finished yet, that is why the neck looks weird(/edit)

I'm a little tight on money this year, so I figured I would draw my mom something. I do that sometimes, but I feel cheap doing it :o

Anyway, I was going to do something traditional (IE, pencils), but I keep messing it up so I figured I'd just do something on the computer...although I know she prefers the pencil drawings.

This is what I have so far (ie, I'm not done yet). It looks odd to me, but I can't place what...any suggestions?

first of all...............mayor WOWW!!!!...........it´s awesome what you can do............

second..............don´t feel that way i know she will appreciate as she knows the time and effort and love it takes you to make it..........

and third............i would love if you teach me how to do it


and for the odd thingy..........what i feel it might be is the far right side, right where the neck ends, it seems to be missing something, perhaps you can add more hair and make it end in hair (i know it´s called mane :rolleyes: LOL )

you can have it print out in a nice paper (cheap by the way) and i bet it would look awesome, more if that´s possible :D

Thanks :) I would love to show you how I do it, but I'm not sure how haha. As for the right side, I'm not finished of that yet. I'm going to add a little more body, and a sunset for background..or maybe clouds.

It looks great!! I sure wish I could draw like that! I can't wait, I'm taking "beginners draw" 4th quarter at school! ;) lol

The only thing I was gonna say was that the right sided where the neck ends is too bold, and the light outline thing around it looked odd, but since you aren't finished with that part yet, well, it looks fine! I love it, and I think your mom will too! :)

I can't say that I see anything odd about it, but my eye for art isn't exactly the greatest. That said I'm amazed at the detail in your drawing! I keep looking at the face and detail and I can't belive how much "life" you've captured. It's really great!

I like it... just finish as you think it would /should be, and be happy with it. I know your Mom will love it!

That is just beautiful! If you'll add the withers on the right side and let the mane taper off, it should be fine. #6 on this diagram : http://www.m-w.com/mw/art/horse.gif
It looks great! Wish I could do all that stuff on the computer.

Awesome! Don't feel cheap, your mom will absolutely LOVE it:Dd

Wow! That's gorgeous! Your detail is really fabulous. You are so talented! Cheap? No way!

WOW!!! Is that a Black Pearl Friesians??? WOW!!!! I agree a little more in the mane, but HOLY COW! YOu have MAJOR TALENT!

It's a friesian, yup. This is the ref I'm using (http://www.wyningedgefriesians.com/w...ynBestHead.jpg)
Isn't he amazing??

(I use a ref, but I don't trace..it's harder then you would think hehe)

I love it! It looks so real, almost like a photograph.
I'm sure your mum will be thrilled with it :D

It's beautiful!! I'm sure she will love it. :)

I think it is just wonderful. You have an amazing talent that I know your Mom will appreciate and she must realize how long it takes you to complete - just for her!
