"Incitatus" was the favorite horse of Roman Emperor "Caligula". Incitatus is a Latin word meaning "swift". "Incitatus" had a stable of marble, with an ivory manger, purple blankets, and a collar of precious stones. The horse was attended to by18 servants, and was fed oats mixed with gold flake. Caligula even procured him a wife.....a mare named "penelope". Caligula also planned to make his horse a "consul". "LOL"!! This horse is making me crazy......I hope I'll be able to finish him....haha! I'm posting this draw as "finished".....I'm so tired of working on this. I love horses, but this little "stallion" really drove me crazy......he just didn't want to look the way that I wanted him to look...."lol"!! So I'm done with him for now.....I might try working on him more later.....I'd like to make him look a little bit better. I didn't really want to put the collar on him.....but the "ref" pic has him wearing a collar of precious stones.....so I added it...haha. :)

Yea, i think who ever drew this should feel hard done by not get such a great drawing in the showcase.

backmagicwoman (Sep 9, 2009)

Art Suplies problem

NekoChibi (Aug 13, 2009)

Up in till a couple years ago my family realized that I enjoy doing art (mostly anime). I'm not the best at it, and there a still a lot of tools I am clueless of. So all I ever got for gifts was loads of art tool's and stuff. The problem is, I don't have any good use for them and I don't have the time to research them and stuff. So I have more than 150 oil pastels, and pretty much every color. But I'm the one who can use them to THE LEAST EXTENT. I also have a whole art kit with paints, pastels...

in need of help on drawing human hair!

SamiJ1000 (Aug 15, 2009)

Can someone walk me through drawing human hair? All the tutorials I've found are for photoshop. (obviously I don't have it!) So can someone teach me how to draw realistic human hair? I tend to make it look 'stringy' or 'cartoony'.
