I'd play wif him ^.^ You draw some shexy guys *noddles*

Heh, he looks like he's ready for a romp XD

I love his face. He looks like a pleasant one. :) Amazing what one can do with a limited color pallette.

HAWT! :D

Holy,....HAWT!, pokey said it right!^^
Yeah i would!^^

Damn.

Save a cowboy, ride that horse. I mean a horse.. a horse!

I really like your sepia series. They're much "warmer" than regular sketches or inked drawings would be.

mm I need a new ranch hand...

How do you do your sepia tone? Is it a post effect, or the materials you use? I guess the latter.

D.O.P.R

It's the materials. The paper is parchemnt paper available in most scrapbooking stores. I bought mine at Michael's. I sketch the pic using my usual mechanical pencil. I then ink it with a sepia waterproof marker pen. Then out come the Copic sketch markers. I prefer the sketch style because they have the brush tip on one side and it feels more like painting to me. The squared off sides I just find frustrating. I choose a set of four sepia coloured ones going from light to dark. Then starting with the light I lay in the coloured areas, working with darker and darker markers till I get an effect I like. I often go back in with the lighter markers to go over whole areas and bring the colours together. Finally I use a while prismacolour pencil to add in the highligths. Sign it and I"m done!

Urr, make that a "white" prismacoloured pencil! Stupid fingers.....

This is stunningly gorgeous. Such a sweet expression! I love this picture! Great work

that reminds me of how I feel after working to care for my own horse... nicely done!

Brokeback mountain? Or maybe.. Bareback mountin'?

To hell with riding fences, I'd rather ride HIM! He looks so... disingenuous. Honestly sweet. And oh-Lawdy-LAWDY hot!!

The coloration is awesome! Very nice!

beautiful work

Such a nice smile, with the eyes and glasses and expression. It's almost to cute to notice the beefcake! ;)

I like the glasses, adds to the guy isn't 100% perfect, but an average Joe.

What a stud, literally

wow this really stood out to me in the mix of other horses

Sexy stud!

I wish I had some parchment paper, but for now I'll just stick to re-creating it in Photoshop. Nice work! Did you use any guidelines at all?

I'm not sure what you mean by guidelines. I did sketch it out in pencil first if that's what you mean.

Yeah, that's what i meant.

Are they any advantages or disadvantages to parchment? Like, is it hard to erase on it or something?

Well, this isn't true parchment which is rather expensive and hard to find these days. This paper is scrapbook paper and easy to find at Michaels or scrapbook stores. It's just a nice thick paper in 12x12 sheets, or is that 10x10. At any rate, it erases just fine, takes marker and coloured pencils well. Not sure about paint but from the feel of it, acrylic should work just fine.

Great scenery, great work
