Cheers Charlotte!

One of my favourite artists from Insta is a guy called Ben Oliver (though he doesn't post much these days).  This ref of Alan Rickman really reminded me of the colours he uses and he often creates portraits that are from unusual angles so I tried a sketch in his style (kinda).

Was going to take it further but weird calcium levels and some new strange muscle twitches I seem to have developed stopped play after an hour or so.

Uhm, technically that's only one horse head. I'm pretty sure that woman would be insulted by you calling her a horse. :confident:

(And for the record I think both horse head and human head looks fine!)

:lol:

Yes, I don't dislike the human head. :)
But horsey heads almost bother me as much as dogs and this one's gone a bit blurry in my attempt to get some kind of texture into it. And that took two attempts as well. I hilariously thought I'd be able to finish it quickly yesterday but it dragged on into today and I only got this far by leaving out two hands. :oops:

No horse today! :woohoo:

But I still didn't get the eyes right. :(

The horse head looks great to me! You’ve got that lovely musculature down on the shadowed side of the muzzle (?) and those nostrils must be a nightmare to get looking correct.
No hands on your most recent piece but the depth of field on there is amazingly well captured.

Agree, the horse head is rendered nice... but I keep seeing the muzzle being off some? Not sure if it's just too long, or maybe, wide? But it looks a wee bit like a cows muzzle. But this might just be the angle too? Looks a bit like a Mule, or Horse/Donkey hybrid. If that makes sense...

Like the new one too, but also seeing that she could have easily been made into a centaur, so you could have made another horse-like creature is ya wanted. :)

I get sketchy around pencils! ...=D

Yep, your horsey knowledge is spot on there, Dave. In the original reference that's where the girl's hands were and they completely obscured the muzzle. But with time being short it was quicker to "invent" a horse nose rather than struggle to rush the hands, which I don't like doing anyway. :P
