~artist in need! horse anatomy reference photos~
hello to everyone...i am a new member who is hoping to find some horse lovers who would share a bit with me, and other artists in need...
its very difficult to get access to sharp photos for an artist who does detail and doesnt own a horse....i am searching for a heavier breed, perhaps Andalusian like...i have started a portrait, see my tnail, and i am faltering in the eyebone cheek area/chin ...the angle is he is turning away from us but the chest if facing us/a bit to the left... with hind quarters to the right...
the head is turned and every so slightly a bit tilted because i am seeing a tiny bit of the underside of the chin/muzzle...
i am enclosing a photo of the work in progress...i havent defined the rest of the chest/neck nor mane yet....
i am praying some horse lover will have pity on me...and try to help out...
viewing the site, i see that there are incredible people here with their incredible steeds..
help!
thank you in advance to any who respond!

hello Amy! i would be thrilled to have any photos of horses!....as long as you know i would use them for paintings or drawings?....
the horse is such a beautiful animal...i love to paint animals but it really is hard because of references...
and there are so many wonderful breeds! it will take me a lifetime to finish all the horses i would love to do!
my husband and i took a ride out to where we know there are horses nearby and i was lucky enough to find a whitish horse a bit heavy in look...although i got to tell ya he has one long face and isnt the handsomest guy! lol

peggy thank you so much! this makes the world of difference for me! i want to sincerely thank all of you that are helping out!
now i will have plenty of horses with good clear details....because i plan on doing a huge series on this incredible animal....i shied away from doing horses because i didnt have enough permission granted images to work from...i am so excited!!....
i finished the horse i was working on...got it framedup yesterday but i have to go back....the mat is far to close to the muzzle and just not acceptable for professional work....ugh...but i have plenty of time to still fix it...
here is a peek but the photo was taken before it was framed...and i couldnt take him outside to photo cause we have been enduring horrid weather....even when the sun is out its so windy i wouldnt dare take this outside its a 22x28 drawing! it would blow away like the sails on a ship! lol... - Attachments:
