Burn...

Thought I’d challenge myself and draw a more dynamic pose. This was extremely fun to work on, and with colors I don’t usually use. More experimenting! :heart: Horses have a pad on the bottom of their feet called the frog. It’s always looked like a heart and for me it symbolizes the magnificent pulsing energy of this animal.

This was done in watercolor pencils on 90 lb. paper. It took me a week to find the courage to apply water to it since 90 lb. paper buckles really bad. I had to be careful not to saturate the paper, which was all a great learning experience.

Flames are so unpredictable-I usually end up drawing them like branches or leaves. Enjoy!

You can be what you want to be.

Hey you're alive!!!! Great work, I love your flaming horse. ^_^ Great job with the colors. This is definitely my new fave horse. It took me a while to realize I was staring at his behind, I was trying to figure out how he was positioned then he sat on me lol. Have I told you how much I love your work lately? Well I do. :D

98% of deviants don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". If you're one of the 2% that does, copy and paste this into your signature.

You said you'd like it when the thunderstorms came,
Said you'd like if the thunderstorm just
pulled you piece by piece away.
