Portrait I did to include in a secret santa gift exchange this year.
This mare is a bashkir curly type horse (I think Curly/Percheron??), so she has a curly coat. It's definitely different to draw! I had a tough time in some spots and had a pretty tight deadline for getting it completed with my whole December just going insane, so there are some areas that don't feel very polished to me.
Oh! And I did tack... TWICE... and the first time, my file corrupted and I had to load the back up from the day before, the second time, I saved over the wrong file! *cries* So I scrapped the tack because I ran out of time!
Oh and then I got it printed! It printed so dark that it was like a silhouette with a white spot. Thankfully I was able to get it printed again in time T_T but I swear December was cursed.
That being said I really like how it turned out, And the recipient liked it, which made my day!
I LOVE Curly horses, this is a very well done portrait good job! The forelock is my fav. As someone who has horse allergies, Curlies make it possible for me to ride and spend time with one of my favorite muses.

I love this!
