This is a portrait of a famous swedish trotter, Legolas. Unfortunately he passed
away earlier this year, by the age of 26.

Derwent pastel blocks (colors 72B, 70H, 70F, 70D, 70B and 67B)
Velour paper
5 hours aprox.
33x26 cm (12" X 10")

This was my first time working with pastel blocks, and I´m totally in love!

My GOD... :wow:
I truly adore this beautiful portrait, and can't wait to see more that your gallery may offer. Great work! :nod:
:icondinky03:
wow thats really good....REALLY good....slightly sad...
:icondissimilitude:
Actually, I think it looks quite nice. The texturing is beautiful.
:iconrho-cass:
Are you kidding? This is gorgeous! I wouldn't even be able to pull this off with graphite, let alone material as messy as pastels. Textures have never been my strong point. You got the texture of the horse's coat dead on.

wow! very nicely done.
:iconbeaker255:
very nice. I am jealous. Your shading is beautiful.
:iconindigoellipses:
Jesus, you're worried that it's not very good? *Drops jaw*. ARE YOU KIDDING!?! If I had half of this sort of talent I'd die with happiness. (Although, when you critique your own work enough, you beat yourself down so much that, yes...I do know what you're talking about.)

Anyway. Moving on. I particularly like the blue hightlights that just barely show up in the background of the horses coat...It's a really nice touch, and it makes the coat look that much more realistic. Your grasp of anatomy is incredible...All of the veins in the face are in the perfect place, and the eyes look SO ALIVE. It's...wow. Really rather beyond words.
