Draw This Again

Deviantart is holding a contest called 'Draw This Again'. The idea is to take an old piece of art, and to redraw it. 

I chose to redraw this painting, entitled 'Masquerade'. I used acrylic paints on cartridge paper (the background was done with tea). I still like it, but it's not my best piece: the eye and mane are sloppy.

Here's the revamped version. I sketched this in ink, and scanned it. My tablet came in very handy for colouring it in.
