Not nothing about these techs but sure is a wonderful work of digital art to me! Like the horse as he runs along the edge of the water kicking up the water and the form of the horse is awesome! Nice colors and beautiful framing!

Very nice piece.
Like your technique. Great color harmony. Also like the fact that he seems to be in motion.
Good job on this!

great job!, I like the focus and overall you did well with the horse, I am a horse lover and for your next one you need to refer to a few photos to get your basic anatomical shapes in, I like the highlights and you caught the spirit and delight in running that horses have...your painting on the water and shadows is very well done

    thank you so much lorraine, I know the front legs are off. I had a photograph of a running horse but the legs were cut off so I went to the internet to try to find a horse runing in the same fashion. I found a lot of runing horses but the legs were all off from what i needed so I had to fake it,It looked like i had the sketch right but when it came to doing the painting I just culdn't get it right. I got so frustrated with it, thats why I had to take a break and did my robot piece to releive some tension.
    thank you s omuch for a well done you have no idea how much that means to me

Comment from robina1978


Did you really make the horse on the computer?
It looks like it is a real painting and the background is awfully nice as well.

this is georgous, I love all the movement you have captured in here between the horse and the water. I really like the freedom feel to this as he looks like he could run forever

    to each their own opinion, that is what I have learned, my last picture, i have had some comments, some I take in and change others I ignore, had some great feedback on it though, and hopefully better ones now that I tweaked a few things, you are very talented and I always say sometimes the flaws are what makes artwork ...artwork :)

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan



This is an interesting composition. Horses are great subjects for an artist. Be they sitting, standing or running. The running horse on water of the boats makes it interesting viewing.I only wish you had shown little texture on its body. Fine composition, soft colours and very good light makes this immensely viewable.

Comment from cleo85


Overall it is really good, parts of it like the wave and the foam are perfect. How the foam goes over and parts on the legs could not be better, but the legs seem of; especially the one to the right. To me the front legs are looking as is he is in full gallop, flying through the waves. The hind legs look as if he put the breaks on.
I think straighten the front leg left more toward the left border and the hind leg in front bending at the knee backward to the left could correct that. I'm sure you can fix that!

    I agree cleo I was having a fit with trying to get those legs right I had a photograph of a runing horse that I did the sketch from but the bottom of the legs were cut off so I went to the internet to try to find a horse runing in the same simular fashion found a bunch of running horses but each one had the legs different I got so frustrated thats why I took a break and played with the robots piece that i posted my way of having fun LOL
    thanks for the help and sending me the picture that your working on at least now I have a place to start

Comment from kanagraj


Excellent work. Fine color harmony. Beautiful technique and impact. Even the beautiful details I love it. The center of interest composing excellent. I feel the single horse and the double horse concept is different. Excellent pro presentation.
