Artist's Comments

And here's the coloured pic. Done in a watercolour wash and overlayed with coloured pencils.
I don't really know what breeds they are, but my most guesstimate is from top to bottom: Barb, Andalusian, Arab, and Lipizzaner. Some of the most popular breeds of ancient times, the Barb of course being the center breeding point for most of these breeds (if I'm reading the history in my head right).

Scan no justice... :P

If you light a man a fire, you will keep him warm for a while. If you SET a man afire, you will keep him warm for the rest of his life.

i think that your pensil work is completely awsome! although i may not agree with the coloreing of the black horse being so good (kinda dark and hard to see details) but if you look good enough i can see them. i love the pensil strokes in the Andalusian (second from the top). it looks like you actually put hair of the horse and the hair looks like it goes with the contour of the muscles. you are incredible.
