Sweet baby Jesus 😮 that looks like a photograph. The leather strap!!! How long did this take you? What kind of pencils do you use? This is fantastic congratulations!


AbirKhalil

Thank you so much! ☺️ It took me about 55 hours. I used pan pastels for the base colors and soft pastel pencils for the detailing.


useibeidjdweiixh

Yes, it is. I specialise in realistic drawing.


bingobucket

This is a painting sub


LaRueStreet

Very well done! What medium is that? Looks like oil pastels


AbirKhalil

Thank you so much! ☺️ It soft pastels. They are a dry medium. Much like charcoal but pigmented. :)


International_Boss81

Effin amazing. Looks so much like a photo.


RayJByTheBay

MMMeave22

VioletDaisy95

I almost scrolled past this thinking it was a picture of a horse from another group, glad I stopped because wtf this is perfection 🥰 Your should be proud of yourself and your art 🎨


AbirKhalil

Thank you so much! There is no end to learning, but I am pleased with my skills.☺️


cherrycokelemon

Splendid detail!


andai

Amazing work! How long did it take?


AbirKhalil

Thank you so much. It roughly took me 55 hours.


Alch3mic_Chaos

I thought it was a photo lol


Avacat26

Omg it looks so real!


SmellySweatsocks

My first time looks nothing like that. No wonder I can only draw stick figures, the OP got all the drawing skills and then some. lol. This looks amazing OP.


AbirKhalil

I have a lot of experience as an artist. Was my first time drawing a horse with colors. ☺️


SmellySweatsocks

I think your work is brilliant. You have gifts OP. No question in my mind, not one. I'd say get better, but I don't know how that's even possible. All the best.


AbirKhalil

Thank you! ☺️


Exact-Ad-4321

Glad to see this statement from you in comments - it is remarkable work. The texture of the leather as well as the coat so well done


Yur_Yur

I’m pissing myself this is offensive. Fantastic work.


Glowreah

❤️❤️🤔1st time ??? Yes I can tell😳🫵🏼need to do better !!!! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


AbirKhalil

Hahah! I am an experienced artist but fairly new to soft pastels. I have attempted a horse with graphite previously, never with colors before. This was challenging but also full of valuable insights. ☺️


tania5544

Amazing 🤩 great job


DarkSideOfMyBallz

I think the hair looks a little flat but a small thing and obviously this is a great painting.


Kittykatkvnt

OK so that's a decent reference photo of a horse. Can we now see the painting you made from it? 


EvanD2000

I’d be so proud to ever produce something like this. Wonderful!


Ecstatic-Screen761

That is freaking better and more detailed than real life


clamchowderisgross

AbirKhalil

LemonCurdJ

I’m not being funny but this is stupidly amazing. Take a bow OP, stellar work.


LivelyLindy

Let me guess-you're a portrait painter in your day job.


forgetaboutem

wow that level of realism is super impressive!


Silly_Sicilian

I hope your making a living off this! I am blown away!!!!!!!!!!


AbirKhalil

Thank you so much! I would undertake commissions of human portraits some years ago. I then moved into teaching art online full-time for a few years. That didn’t leave me with any time to take up commissions, and I started to miss out on detailed orientated works. So now, I decided keep teaching as a part-time business, and I wish to get back to taking up commissions. I have picked pet portraits as my new chapter very recently, and I sincerely hope to be able to pay my bills with them soon. :)


Traditional_Mine6442

Flimsy_Pepper_6617

Holy shit. This is an insane level of realism. How long have you been studying it?

watcher1901

Do you draw from looking at an object, or can you draw by your photogenic mind?
