Horse Racing….Place…Still



I evened out the horse color with a larger brush and a darker brown.  Which now means I have to “replace” the shadow lines.



Being super frustrated with my inability to draw the horses body consistently, I had to concentrate on something else.  I will need to go in and make the eye area more pronounced.  Glad this part came easier.



I love working in my kitchen….It gets lots of sun….all…day…long.  Natural light is always the best!



This is pretty much the standard look when I work…..the hard part is grabbing the correct pencil.  I’m surrounded by dozens of watercolor pencils mixed with even more regular colored pencils.  And there is a purpose to each.  At this point, when I’m doing more of the detail work…guess which pencil I grab?  Yep, the regular colored pencil one.

Now for the game……Can you spot the differences between the two pictures?

  1. This is looking great! At first I was worried because I thought that was a bowl of cereal on your work (!!) but then I realized it's your pencil shavings.

    I like seeing where you work, and all the supplies you use.

  3. Over from jenniebellies. That's fantastic! You are much braver than me drawing horses (yikes! Just the thought of doing a horse makes me come out in a cold sweat). Looked at some of your recent posts and love that you've been colouring in some of Janet's pictures...what a lovely collaboration. You did a great job on them.
