Description  2016 is finishing already, wow! Time is always going so fast haha! I finished out 2015 by posting a horse drawing, and I'm doing it again this year  
A moment ago, I was only drawing horses, or nearly. Now I draw more diversified animals, but less horses! Anyway, at least it will be my last painting of the year!
In 2017, I would like to be a bit more productive, and maybe to try drawing some new subjects. But wait, I feel like I have the same resolution every year  


Anyway, I wish you all an Happy New Year!  I wish you the best to come in 2017, and I hope we'll still have a good time here on DeviantArt!

So lovely and smooth! Your watercolor drawings are soothing for the eyes. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>
I can't see the reference you used but I'll try to suggest something you can improve. The coat could be more shiny in those places you've already highlighed. Like you already did on the hoofs. It adds that little extra detail and would make the horse pop out from the background.

The background has beautiful colors and some nice details. It looks like grass in the foreground, then maybe a wheat field? And lastly a hedge? The background becomes a little flat to look at but I think it's because of the large green area behind the horse. You could try with a background that's more open - with more visible sky and a landscape that gradually gets lighter and ligther towards the distance.

Hello, I'm so sorry to answer to you that late, but I wanted to take time to thank you properly I take note of your critique for the lighting, it's true that it could be more shiny. You'll see that in my next drawing I've followed your suggestions, and made a more open background, because this one was truly not detailed enough. I know this is something I should really improve, and I'll try to spend much more time on the background now!
It's incredible how supportive and kind you are with me. I didn't expect you to write a critique on my drawings after everything you've already done for me!!

That's great! I'm looking forward to seeing it
Well I like to help when I can. Every artist wants to get better at what they do, right?
You always take note of the critique you receive, in a very positive way - and you use it constructively. I think that's the reason you improve so fast and I'll support that anytime

Yeah! I think I may submit this drawing tomorrow Yep, I think that's the way everyone should take them? Well, that's the goal of DeviantArt to get more exposure and to improve thanks to others! So far I haven't been able to write a critique, because I'm not sure I have enough English vocabulary to be understood and to write what I think haha! But I think I'll get started with critiques soon

Ah, this is lovely! I extremely love the strokes of watercolour, the tonal colour value you've put into her lovely structure. The background is very well perceived and only adds to the horses' presence! I like the shine as well in the white stripe on her face, and her hooves!

I noticed, you're doing this spotted thing with the paint as well- it's a nice touch, and stylisation!
