Modern Hussar concept

I wanted to design a modern army cavalry soldier that used horses .this is just a concept of what a modern cavalry soldier could look like, she is a Hungarian Hussar armed with a AK.63 rifle and stored in a pocket behind her is a bulletproof shield that she can reach over to get if she needs. There is room to store more equipment behind her however in this picture it shows her in CEFO. Her horse is covered in bulletproof armour for protection. This picture depicts a Hungarian soldier in a desert.
i was inspired to use watercolour pencils after taking ithilloth.deviantart.com/ advice, however I didn't use any water in this picture even though I used watercolour pencils because I used normal paper.
