I would have finished sooner, but I wasn't home for a day and then at night my computer crashed and didn't respond :b now it's okay again, but I didn't think I actually will work XD

I like horses, I just hate how difficult they are to draw.

Hey, I was at my aunt's house, and I was very bored, I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I decided to do a quick painting study. I was trying something different, and it was not paying so much attention to the texture of the fur, so I forced myself to use a single brush to paint everything, like trying to add small accents with other colors. My second rule was to keep it simple, and not add too much detail, but I guess I didn't quite make it ^^" well, it's less detail than I usually do. What do you think?

My artwork featuring all equine species and subspecies is now available in my store. It's been about a year since I began working on horses, so it's satisfying to see it completed. Although they are a well-known and beloved family, there are still some discrepancies among biologists. Questions persist, such as whether the extinct Tarpan should be classified as a species or not, and even the classification of domestic and feral horses. Moreover, it's concerning that four subspecies of this family are already extinct.

Regardless, for those who love horses and those who wish to delve deeper into this captivating family, you can purchase the artwork here:

Burchell's Zebra Equus quagga burchellii Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 07 Feed: Herbivore Habitat: Dry Steppe Status and Conservation: Least Concern ______________________________________________ Despite enjoying working on equines I cannot wait to finish them. Just 5 more to go but it seems eternal. Still, I love the result, and is a very interesting family that I cannot wait to study. Join the club to see more about this project.

Donkey Equus africanus asinus

Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 04

Feed: Herbivore Habitat: All Around the World Status and Conservation: Data Deficient The donkey—a truly remarkable creature—is often subject to mistreatment and disrespect. It's unfairly linked to notions of being "dumb" due to its strong-willed nature. When a donkey chooses not to obey a command, no force can sway its decision. However, this behavior doesn't signify stupidity; rather, it reflects their rebellious spirit. Call me Domkey from now on! I will carry that nickname with pride. Wanna see the full-body illustration?

Przewalski's Horse Equus ferus przewalskii Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 03 Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Temperate Steppe Status and Conservation: Critically Endangered This is the only remaining species of wild horse. The other two wild horse species have already become extinct. One of them is the Tarpan (which was mentioned in a previous post), and the other is the European Wild Horse, which went extinct during the Pleistocene era. The other horses that roam in the wild are considered feral, which means they were once domesticated horses that have reverted to a wild state.

The Przewalski Horse was also extinct in the wild at one point. However, thanks to various breeding programs and the efforts of different zoos, it has been successfully reintroduced to its natural habitat in Mongolia and China. It is still classified as Critically Endangered." ________________________________ Credits: Handbook of The Mammals of the World. Hoofed Animals. ________________________________

Thank you for being here. Likes, reblogs, and follows are very much appreciated. See you next week with more mammals. A new family to show! Huuuuuuuuu

Working on this one was challenging because there is only one picture from 1884 taken of this animal before its extinction. However, when I have to put inventive ways to create an animal as realistic as possible is when I enjoy the illustration more. 

Tarpan

Scientists have long grappled with the origins of the domestic horse, seeking to establish its ancestral roots. Initially, there were two distinct horse populations: the Prewalsky horse in Europe and the Tarpan in Asia. Regrettably, the Tarpan became extinct at the dawn of the 20th century, leaving no DNA samples behind. This absence of genetic evidence has posed a significant challenge in determining the true origins of the domestic horse. Nevertheless, studies analyzing the DNA of the Prewalski horse have provided compelling evidence of a close relationship between these horses and their domestic counterparts.

Numerous endeavors have been undertaken to revive the Tarpan breed. While the Heck Horse bears the closest resemblance in terms of appearance, their genetic makeup tells a different tale.
