Question: Need help with a drawing!.!.!.!.!.!?
i am working on this for a paying customer and i need help!.!.!.
just advice if you dont mind!.
i have never drawn a horse before and i have never drawn a man before (only women)
i have gotten this far and i feel like i am stuck at the moment!. i am stuck on his face, cuz it is realy small and he said he wants the cowboy smiling!.!.!. im not exactly sure how to make it obvious that he is smiling and not make it "cartoony" or "cheesy"!.!.!.!.
and im not sure how i can make the horses mouth more realistic and how to do more shading on the body!.!.!.
also i need to draw a stream in front of the horse, and i am not sure how to make water look realistic in a drawing!.!.!.!.
any advice would be so much appreciated!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Drawing horses is the worst, making the cowboy smile is hard too in this size!. The Belt of the saddle must be a little more left!. If the cowboy must smile you have to draw the underlip only as a line!. The upperlip you can make some shadow!. But don′t make to much womanlike curves in it!. It is tricky!. Try to put the nose a little bit to the right!. The grin of the cowboy needs also a shadow neer the cheek!. Good luck for your drawing and i hope this helps a little bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

its good!.!.!.but it needs more practice believe me !.!.!. u need to use the squares Technic draw squares on the real photo and the same squares on your paper u will get the exact sizes!.!. about the shades it need practice !.!. and u have to press more on the pencil give it more confidence u wil get it right !.!.!.good luck Www@QuestionHome@Com
