drawing improvements?

[buttercup132]

MAJOR IMPROVEMENT in BOTH drawings!! .... Tonal values have more variation. Eyes are excellent! Do not just sit flat on the paper. Here is another website just on drawing horses. You have a natural talent! Keep drawing. xKaren

Someone already posted that site for her she said she doesn't draw with circles.

hehe yeah that's okay though :]

thanks so much! :]]

I've got to go to the ortho and then i'm riding...but after i am definitely gonna try drawing with some of those new neat techniques on the first website you showed me :]]

I find circles really only help if you're drawing from scratch...using references helps for starters. I think your drawings look really nice though. Keep it up

[JuniorxMyxLove]

eh heh heh....yeah circles don't help me at all lol.

yay I have about 7 more picturesto do drawings of...for the week I'll be without internet. If you guys have any headshots of your horses you would let me draw, that would be great!

thanks guys
I'm so happy right now!
plus, my mouth doesn't hurt very much right now!

oh, and by the way - I did that whole drawing with a 2H pencil

[slleipnir]

looks great. not sure if anyone mentioned this, but do you have a smudge stick? or even atissue works. Just blend the pencil together and make it look smooth. (although you'll need to rework the darker areas a lot when you do this)

[JuniorxMyxLove]

no, i don't. but uhm, i did part of another one. this took me almost an hour to do. I spent waay more time on this then I did on any others. Please, what can I do to make it betteR? any suggestions here to put shading on the face? And are the boots okay? I did this whole thing in my room, so I couldn't exactly remember.

thanks a bunch!
and now for the picture:
