this is a great piece of work. The only critique I have is that the mans legs should be much longer. They should end at the bottom of the horses belly and the feet of the man should be twice their size. Other than that ITS GREAT.

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Thank you! I knew there was something odd with the man, but was unable to tell what until you made me notice. I really dont understand why I'm always drawing too small feet. Someone suggested i should make them my trademark 12"

Very nice picture but you need to practice the drawing of proportions. Anyway, there are many details and the shading is excellent2

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Thank you 2 I know my figures (both humans and horses) are not the best, unfortunately it is hard to illustrate a story without using any figure 12 So I just go ahead and do it. Im practicing anyway 2"

I love Schubert’s take on this song and you have captured each character perfectly!
