EXCELLENT! This is still so amazing how you do this wonderful artwork, one dot at a time!! Excellent shadowing! Fantastic proportions! I love the head shot drawing of the horse, and the full horse in smaller version! Excellent job. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Comment from Silvergold


A truly beautiful drawing! As I've said before, not only do I greatly admire your ability as an artist, I admire your perseverance in being so patient while administering the dots. The shadowing and the detail are amazing and I particularly like how lifelike you have made the eye. Quite extraordinary!

I really am loving this one!! I love Arabians, and this really does honor their beauty! I love the details, and the dots. It looks very contemporary to me with the expanse of white. Thanks for sharing this awesome art, really was a delight to view! ST 8-)

This is beautiful. Ever since I read The Black Stallion as a girl I have been captivated by Arabian Horses. This is very well done. You captured the beautifully shaped head and facial features so nicely. I like how you included the smaller form of the whole horse and it's sleek body.

You get an A on this one. Your many dots have created a lovely piece of work. The shading is very nicely done and the little horse on the bottom is well defined. from swampangel

the eyes and ears caught my eyes first and then the full-bodied stance captivated me. This is a first class drawing. Excellent work!!!

Comment from Janrique


It sounds like an incredibly time-consuming technique and one you must have to be very committed to. I wonder whether you pencil in a faint plan first of the shape and form, or whether you just do it straight off? The effect is quite stunning - the expression on the face of this beautiful mare is very powerfully portrayed here. It is so delicate and simple an image - great with just the black on white. Very well done on this one.

    janrique; yes, a faint plan, and then I let the dots take over, well it's like the eyes and the hands and the creative side of the brain takes over,. If I didn't let that happen, I'm sure it wouldn't be very good... anyway, thank you, appreciate you taking the time, glad you like it and take care... Cheers.. LvO
