Just a suggestion for future BC art - they are very nice by the way though the back end(rump) could be flatter just a tad to be more even with the withers, but now for my suggestion
some thing always looks off to me and I think it is the legs or rather the hooves - back legs always looks higher than the front ones to me any way (I draw). May be you could draw a level line before you draw the horse so you could draw the legs and hooves first so placement of all feet are level to the ground. I will try to get an example up. Nice work on the Arabian art!

We always use a level line to confirm the hoof position. ;)

That's one of the reasons I didn't get the saddlebred art. The two far hooves and then the two near hooves are not on the same plane with each other.

@Ammit Thanks, I guess it could be my PC or some thing but it always looks off to me, but thank you for your reply - beautiful work I will be adding this BC to maybe two servers lol @Cavalynn the plane thing maybe what throws me off at thinking they are not level. When I draw all my feet have to be on the same plane or the far legs are just a tad bit shorter than the near legs but not by much, they are closer to the plane/ground, but I am funny that way lol, Thanks again all, Kat
P.S. As I look at Jenx art it could be that the far legs seem shorter than the near legs - I am just weird about stuff lol

Example horse art - I was going to draw an example but I found nice art work examples, I could not find the artist of top two drawings

far leg is closer to ground, they could still be a bit closer to near leg for me

this one is much better on the placement of the four legs to the ground
A beautiful oil painting by Charles Towne

front leg placement is what I try for on all my horses legs - far legs are closer to plane/ground like the near leg.
