BMa Wald, the Jutland stallion (that I wish was real and a part of an extensive Jutland breeding program...) strutting his stuff in a halter class.
I attempted to find some videos on YouTube that had Jutlands and found a sparse handful. I admit their natural action is a bit flatter, but I'd inked the drawing already at that point so we'll call it artistic license, or perhaps there was a pretty lady at the show that he was feeling he needed to impress.
Chris says he still has a bit of a Haflinger face, but that's okay, we'll survive. I'm still earning draft horse anatomy and facial structure.
Drawn with Staedtler and Micron pens and colored with Derwent's Studio colored pencils, the set of twelve on 9"x12" drawing paper. I have some reservations about these pencils, it takes forever to get anything very rich and you absolutely have to layer with these, there's no getting around it, the singular colors just look flat and lifeless. I know some people like light and airy colored pencil pieces and it works well in some aspects, but I like contrast. Of course it could just be that I was using the set of twelve rather than a full range and at that there is hardly any use of the color black (smidge on his hooves and muzzle and one soft layer for the seath, but I don't think you can really count that), but I still don't really like using the color black; it's a bit of a dead (non)color and doesn't do much to enhance what it overlays or underlays.
Artistic ramble aside I am rather happy with it and have enjoyed working in colored pencils again.
Original for sale, note me if interested.

Ooo...that is a nicely banded tail...I don't know why but when it comes to braiding in dressage...I always screw up the tail the first time, and get it right the second. I never screw up the mane. I would pride a horse like this if he actually existed by the way...Studs often look more beautiful after they are done growing.
Thankye, I'm still trying to get the traditional braid down. It isn't like any other braiding I've seen and I've yet to find a good reference image for it so I do my best with what I have, heh.
As would I. I plan on writing to the organization in Denmark about the Jutland. I am not in a position to try importing right now, but I'd like to try to get some roots down and who knows where I'll be in ten or twenty years!

Thank you on all accounts! I've been having a lot of fun with this guy. It's been years of study, that's for sure! I am a conformation geek as well, which helps both in being anatomically accurate and structurally sound. You see some artists who are super detailed and do gorgeous stuff, but their horses constantly suffer from being badly conformed and you know that wasn't their intent.
I knoooow. :P Personal pet peeve...how many artists OMIT IMPORTANT BODY PARTS on horses. FREAKS ME OUT when I see these heinously talented people draw horses with...say...NO PASTERNS. They go cannon, fetlock, HOOF and I reel from the thought of a horse trying to live like that.
Makes me CRAZY.
