ESS 2009

Vision: this piece was very visually pleasing <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> There were only a few things really bothering me. The first was the eyes. I thought that they were too small and beady lol. The second was the trees in the background. I mean they weren’t bad, they just didn’t seem as high quality as the rest of the picture <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> I adored your shading, and anatomy. The poses you chose to draw the horses in were difficult poses to do, and you pulled it off well!

Originality: I’m sure horses running in the snow isn’t really that new of a concept lol. I do like the poses though, especially that of the one on the far left. It’s a very original pose ^_^

Technique: I love how you chose to do this lineless <3 It is a great technique, as well as a hard one! I also like the technique in which you drew their manes, It looks like you did each strand by itself C:

Impact: As far as impact goes, I think you were going for joy right? Like, the horses were supposed to look happy and free. If that was the case, I think it wasn’t portrayed as much as you could have been. A lot of emotion is shown through the eyes of someone/something, and you couldn’t really see any feelings in these horses eyes, which overall lessened the impact. Does that make sense? When I read that back to myself it sounds weird xD

Overall: A very nice piece <3 the whole scene is gorgeous, it’s a wonderful showcase of your talent <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> If I received this as a secret santa, I’d probably die of excitement xD
