The knee is pretty long for a horse, but it fits, since most of the body looks more like a greyhound than an equine. In that context, it's perfect. ^^ The distance between the knee and hock should probably be longer, but from a stylistic point of view, it looks just fine. ^^
It's a very good sketch. It's clean, has good movement, the texture's executed perfectly, without overdoing it... "Have I ever told you you're my hee-eero?!"
Any time. ^^ It's not so hard, just takes practice. Of course, I'm a horse freak and spent half my time looking at picture books full of horses, so I had plenty of reference material... Anyways. No problem. ^^
:nod: Of course. :3 It'd be easier if I could be out and actually watch horses and deer up-close. XD Pictures are great but they're not as alive as I like to capture. A lot of the time pictures of horses are kinda in generic standing poses. Same for deer, it's hard to capture then in dynamic motion. O-o
It depends. I know I've done google searches on certain horse breeds, or whatever, and a lot of farms like to show their horses when they're playing. I have whole powerpoints full of pictures of different horses in hundreds of poses. Try it!
Oh... and noogies? OW! *rubs head*
