Arabian horse study

Description

I follow Christiane Slawik's page on Facebook and she posted this photo today, and I had a revelation about horses' head anatomy. You know that bone underneath the nose ? The "branches of jaw" if I believe Google ? Well I never grasped how much it sticks out from the head in a really distinct piece, and on the photo you can really tell as clearly as if you saw the skull without skin. And thus I drew said photo :D I posted it to her and she liked it ^^ that's the magic of social networking : I read a book I like, I can just poke the author on FB or Twitter and they will likely see it, and sometimes even reply ! Same goes for artists, or brands, or posters I see in the subway ! How awesome is our time ? I'm loving it.

So this took me just over an hour.
It was meant as a head study, but I ended up adding the body and even shading a little ^^ I'm leaving it on white background this time :)
