Rescued on Horseback

My mind says: Let's draw a horse! I do: Draw distressing book scene involving, slightly, a horse! Cause i'm morbid like that.

This is a scene from the Mary Russell Books (my fav, 'O Jerusalem')- a Sherlock series that I began with the utmost sceptisism... and fell in love with. Seriously.

I hate spoilers, so I won't say anything thats going on, asides from whats visualy obvious. I'm not terribly pleased with how Mahmoud(sp?) came out (guy leading the horse), cause thats not really what he looked like in my head. Oh well, next time. Ali's off ahead by the time Mahmoud had to lead the horse, so I didn't get to draw him.

As for the horse... er, hope its okay. Tried to give it an arabian feel to its headshape, but horses are tricky.
