Quick horse sketch
Started out doing it for basic shapes, and it ended up a nice little cartoon pony. Done with HB, Staedtler Mars Lumograph 100.

Study of horses heads
I had an entire other page before I did these… and they still suck. The last one at least looks like a horse and not an alsatian. Took about 30 to 40 minutes to do this group.

Biggest technical challenge: Measuring. Look at how far wrong the first one is (and remember I’d done about six before it).

Biggest form challenge: Ears. The f*cking ears. Good grief, but they were long one nightmare. The hair isn’t good, but it’s just a throwaway addition, whereas the ears were a must. Just so wrinkly-twisty. Top-row I used HB non-mechanical. Bottom I used the GraphGear (HB). Odd color is scanner noise (I did it as 48-bit color).
