Thomas,
Thank you for these… they’re beautiful.
Since yesterday, I’ve added a few more horses in the ref thread, as well as a few hundred pictures of ladies in formal dresses, for anyone who’d like to practice clothing and folds… enjoy, and here’s my own attempt below (paint shop, ~30 mn)

[Helens]

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten the chance to sketch… So here’s some stuff.

I got REALLY carried away with this. Probably around 30 minutes.

I tried to see if I could show the form without using lines so much as color and value… Yeah, I can’t.

Big thank-you to QueenSoul for adding the reference for this… Saw this picture while looking up horses with fuzzy feet, and fell in love. This is after 15 minutes, but I felt I really couldn’t do her justice in such a short time, so I went further.

This is after about 25 minutes (so 10 minutes longer).
I heard somewhere that a good face pulls the image together, while a bad one ruins it… Guess that’s true for horses, too.

[Ego]

Those are some gorgeous horses Comrade. That last one is really awesome.

@Thomas: wow. Its amazing how your work just flow together into one gorgeous piece after another.
@Tiziana, looks like am gonna be drawing dresses for awhile now. Quite a collection.

[Rebeccak]

Alex[RM-UK],

Welcome aboard! Just keep truckin’ ~ it’s our unofficial motto! Can’t take the closest look at your piece as I’m at work, but will definitely take a look later.

In the meantime, did you want to tell us something about your training / background?

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

[AlexC]

That’d be great if you could have a look Rebeccak

Well I don’t have any trainning really, apart from my Art class in school (i’m 15)- but the teacher may aswell not be there, he just comes in and pretty much goes ‘draw’ and thats it. Doesn’t teach us anything at all then he complains like hell about why we don’t do anything. So I thought i’d try and teach it my self

[Rebeccak]

Alex[RM-UK],

What a shame about your art class! Ah, well, good thing there’s the internet, and this fabulous community here on CGTalk!

I definitely recommend checking out the following thread, and trying some of the Exercises that are posted in the beginning:

Beginners’ Lounge

Beginners' Lounge | Rebeccak | CGSociety Forums

Also check out:

BEGINNERS’ Drawing Workshop - Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

BEGINNERS' Drawing Workshop - Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain | Rebeccak...

The above thread uses the classic book, ‘The NEW Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain’, and I first acquired the older version of the book when I was a bit younger than you…it’s an excellent book, and a recommendation for anyone who is interested in learning how to draw.

A great guide to many of the threads we have here in the Anatomy Forum is:
Tutorials, Workshops, Anatomy Reviews & More … [links within]

Tutorials, Workshops, Anatomy Reviews & More ... [links within] | Kirt |...

I’m pretty busy with the CGWorkshop which just started today, but rest assured I check the forums daily and will try to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers,

[AlexC]

Thanks Rebecca No problem, not (to much) disturb while working, i understand
I tried to do a group scene, i like the composition of this image (thanks Michael Jordan), but i’m not very proud of the result, loosing time on details, no spontaneity. But i enjoyed doing this ! I’l do it again.
