Er, no.

Sorry, I'll get the first next lesson and the grades up tomorrow. Last week was very busy for me, and I didn't want the hassle of scanning or uploading a pic added to my load.

Yeah, i was only on for like a hour of last week, county fair, if you go to page 478 of GIF you will see a funnyish story. I feel you! I just wanted to make sure it was still going.

I saw!

Chicklover98 ~ Awesome job! The Image is very clear, and the lines are nicely drawn.

I'll start from the head, going down the horses body so everything shall be in order: ((I'll be doing this for everyones pic.)) On the head, the muzzle and the lines connecting to the main part of the horses's head look good. For the main part of the head, try making the circle a circle instead of an oval.

It'll look more, erm, "horse-ish."

Neck looks pretty good, the shoulder, or the withers if I'm not mistaken, need's to be somewhat bigger and rounder. Making the circles rounder, instead of oval-ish, really helps later on in the lessons. You'll see why in the next lesson.

The front legs and back legs look very good! Next time though, and this is very important for later images, make sure the legs are more in proportion with each other. I'm not sure if it's just the angle of the pic, of if that is how you drew it, but the back legs look longer than the front. But don't worry about it, if you've seen half of my horse pictures you'll see I have a very hard time keeping them into proportion with each other.

The back could use wih more of a curve, and the stomach doesn't need such a dramtic drop near the front. Well, other than that, your pic looks really good Chicklover!

Sorry if this sounds like alot, I tend to get carried away.

horsecrazychicklovingkid ~ Looks great!

The muzzle and connecting lines are good, the main circle for the head need to be more, er circle-ish.

Not by much though.

Hmm, the shoulder looks good, main body looking good as well, the legs are also very good. I think I said this before, but the circles nearest the hooves, they could be a little bit higher. Umm, other than that, you're looking good there!

Great job, both of you!

Remember, practice is key if you want to improve. I've been doing so since second grade, which was a while ago but not that long ago,

, anyways, if you ever want to be as good as Birdnut is at drawing horses, you'll have to practice. Like, alot.

Believe me..... 0_0 Ahem, anyways.....Here is the next lesson! Good luck my students!

Building on....

Now, we shall build on! Here is how it shall work. ((Hopefully.))

Take your photo of the basic anatomy horse, and begin to make it seem "Fleshy-er." This is how I did it.

Before:

After:

I built on, making the lines connect and curve into a more bodily shape. After that, I erased the top of the leg, and made them slightly larger and connected them as well. I then lightly erased the circles on the withers, stomach, and hind quarters, and very very lightly re-traced them so you can still see them. Then, I went back to the legs. I made the legs a bit more shapely, traced over the circles in the middle of the leg and near the hooves, then erased and lightly re-traced them so they could still be seen.

And, if you didn't get any of that, just do what my picture did without completely copying it.

Full body.

Er, back legs I think.

Front legs.

Stomach and chest.

Head and neck.​
