'Tis a horse's eye taken from beside the cheek.
Is the prize chocolate?

A hairy nipple?!?

Bryndu, I agree

Well done you 2 for playing yes it is that, well not the second suggestion hehe. You can have some chocolate orange, mmmmm!

I took pictures as I drew a horse for a friend, I thought I would take some pics on the way and thought you might be interested to see them to see how my drawing was created. Here they are anyway and ps, this isn't advertising as I don't draw horses for people or for money, just one off. All created with a pencil, paper and a rubber. I haven't draw a plain pencil drawing for about 8 years!

Enjoy

NOW you mention chocolate orange!!! If you'd said that before....

Would love to be able to draw - but unfortunately my artisitc talents stop at Plasticine - and even that is abstract.

I usually rip drawings of horses to pieces but I have to admit I do really like this, well done to you, I bet your friend was made up.

Thank you all its very kind of you. I could tell you a lot of things I don't like about it but I won't. I am not very confident with my drawings, at art college 8 years ago I was told that my horse drawings are rubbish and that I shouldn't be drawing them as they are useless. Then I had holes picked in one of my horse drawings. I don't mind constructive feedback in any part of my life, but after that I never drew horses again.

One day, I would like to be self-employed drawing horses and animals etc, but I need to get my self belief back first. Its rare I like any picture I draw but I am quite keen on this one.

Thank you again all, your comments do mean so much to me.

 

[pastie2]

Dont be so self critical. Believe in yourself, if I could draw like that I would feel blessed!!!!

 

[almrc]

I do need to believe in myself more, but as I was young and the 'teachers' said that to me it did make me think otherwise

 

[Bryndu]

Sausage....you don't need self belief....you have us lot to believe in you!
And as for those teachers at school...well...were they exhibiting at the Tate Modern?...I think not ...so what does their opinion matter now.

WE all know you are good, so.......take the plunge...make yourself a website with a little Paypal account...and off you go.
Odly enough, there was a post on here the other day asking about animal portraits....could have been your first customer!!!!
Good luck...oh and by the way....the chocolate was VERY good

My friend was ecstatic! Absolutely thrilled I do have a website, well just a gallery of my pics that I made ages ago. I just have never really got into it to promote myself. One day, one day...
