You certainly like using black and white. Im just wondering if the dot on the near top left side is accidental. Nice horse by the way (my zodiac and what not)

I have a few suggestions for this... Make the neck narrower as it gets closer to the head because if you look at a real horse, you'll notice a vague triangular shape to their relaxed neck. Also, if you're going to make the shoulders so shaded, work on angling them so that the forelegs would be a bit higher on the horse's chest, kind of. The face could use a LOT more definition; compared to the shading of the rest of the body, it looks kind of out of place. And as to the shading, it's well done, but it's kind of blocky on the back, and doesn't all follow the same light source. The face is shaded with a different angle of light than the shoulder, which is shaded with a different angle of light than the back. I don't mean to be offensive, but maybe it'd be a good idea to use reference pictures. There's nothing wrong with looking at a photo and trying to replicate it. Even the best artists do it. In fact, I'd be confident in saying that the best of artists use reference picture more often than they don't!
And now, 'cause this comment sounds so mean, I gotta say some nice things about this. Not only 'cause the comment sounds mean, but because there are some things I do really like about it.
The composition: the tree leads your eye into the focus point-the horse.
The rocks are really well shaded, and the water is really cool; I like how it seems like the sun is reflecting off the water behind the tree so that you can't see all of the reflected light, and the tree looks like it's glowing.
Sorry for the novel!

I love the background on this. Very nice. The details looks excellent in it. I really like how you did the rocks and that tree. The horse looks good too, lovely shading. I like the pose you used as well. You did a really pretty job on the mane, the details to it are very nice. I really like how you did the muscles and the shading overall. Well done.

That's a pretty good horse, definately an improvement.
