I have a new drawing, can someone critique it?

I'm no art critic, but...

From the Horse's perspective, look at his left side of the head. The ear is in an odd position, too close to the middle, and the left eye looks asleep (if it's supposed to, then that's good!).

Okay, I have seen the original picture now, and have more input.

As well as the shape of the head that I mentioned before, both ears are facing forward in the original, so you need to fix he one on the right. For what the rest of the ears would look like size-wise, go to pet of the Day and search for horses, and I am sure you will find plenty of examples. The ears looks kinda small now.

Hair really isn't that hard, just think of it as "shading" but with long strokes. Nothing to be afraid of, okay?

I also hope there's more to the page, so her muzzle isn't right on the edge. I know it is in the original picture, but that's the advantage of an illustration, one can enhance reality!

I'm no art critic either and I wish I had even a fraction of your talent!

Something doesn't look right about the nose/nostrils, but I can't put my finger on it

Yeah I'm not really sure what happened with the ears, bahaha. I was kinda basing them off Brooke's ears but she's got big floppy ears so I made them smaller...I guess too small. Yeah, I can see that.

There's about half an inch between the edge of the muzzle and the bottom of the page...woulda been more but I didn't really plan this drawing out, just drew and I and worked outwards from there teehee.

Thank you so much!

hehe thanks

Yeah, they look funny. But from what I could see (there was the name of a forum over the nostrils) that's kinda how they were shaped. Ah well, I'll just stick 'em on the "to fix" list haha.

Horses are not my forte either, I like cartoon animals mostly and have never tried drawing a person although I may attempt to in the near future (Zachary Quintoyum) But we'll see if that ever happens!

Anyway, I am quite the fan of your drawings. I liked this one alot, I think you're being to hard on yourself. The only thing I can say is the leg looks a bit thin? But I have not seen the original picture, so I wouldn't know.

As others have mentioned the right ear looks a bit funky,, but i think the left ear looks good. also maybe try adding more layers to the mane so that it appears to be thicker/poofier then what it is. especially in the forelock area maybe. otherwise i think it looks good.

FYI: when I said the left ear, it was from the perspective of the horse. His left, appearing on our right.

^ aye. but everyone i know says it the opposite. so i tend to do the same LOL
so from the horse POV itd be the right one i think looks fine.

sorry for the confusion.
