of their mare, Alteza Del Lago. I am extremely gracious that I got to draw such a gorgeous horse with one of my favorite coat colors. I enjoyed every moment working on this.

You have definitely come a long ways from your first equine portraits! I live the diffused lighting, suggested by both the clouds in the sky and the vague shadow on the ground.
You did an excellent job on the detail and shading. I'm especially in love with her nostrils and muzzle. The range of tone is beautiful and the construction is spot-on.
There are a couple spots that are a little shaky anatomically, but some of them are within the range of what is possible so it could be the individual horse. However the length of the groove on the back cannons in particular that divides the bone from the ligaments seems to run a little deep into the fetlock jont.
The one thing that I don't like about the greyscale method is that it does not encourage one to incorporate color into the shadows. It technically can mimick the use of glazes in oil painting, which means it is possible to sneak in those environmental colors in the areas of reflected light and shadow that will help really settle your subject into its surroundings.
Again, fantastic work and I look forward to seeing more of it!
And the landscaping is amazing!
