Dude Portraitby ~Nylak

Traditional Art / Paintings / Animals

Ish mah bebbe, Dude! Erm, *cough*, yes. My quarter horse gelding. I've never drawn him before, even though I've owned him over two-ish years now, so I finally decided it was time to do something about that. =3

And yes, his proportions are weird; he's just like that. He has a big dopey head, he's long as a limo, and he's a short ass. And he has a pathetically short forelock because it was burned back when he was little, and he has a clump of mane missing where I cling for my life as he hurtles us over jumps that he's way too short to do. XD

But he's my doll and I love him anyhow. X3

Done in termpera paint on 8x11 toned pastel paper. Clocked at 4 hours.

Wow, I love the lighting of the light spots and the definition of the limbs! Your shadows really give me a feel for the depth of the picture and it honestly feels like he'll leap off the page/screen! I think his proportions are okay. It actually makes me think of a slim Morgan horse.

Aw, I love your description of this little boy. We seem to all have awkward horses in one way or another, eh?

My Omen - stubborn as a mule, looks like a deer, tall as a clydestale, with an annoyingly long tail, with an attitude to boot -- and, wicked as the devil himself.

My my. Where do these horses come from?
