horse

A quick materials experiment with some of my favorite subjects; animals and skulls.

Little watercolor horses, they were fun to draw and paint and each seems to have it's own personality. Some look a little too much like a donkey though. lol

These horses were so much fun to draw. I used a Uni Posca marker with Daniel Smith watercolors. I was going to a craft fair and wanted to try out making stickers with Sticker Mule. It is a super easy process. The sticker is 1 inch in diameter.

it's a horse...of course!

Drawn in my official "doodle addict" sketchbook, this is a "serious horse face". Colored pencil and black ink pen

Working on my stippling and hatching so I decided to draw a horse, done with ink.

I decided to illustrated a picture of @justinhofman published in Sept 19 of 2017 in @natgeo about the pollution and how animals are suffering for our ways of using plastic. This seahorse was captured in the waters of Sumbawa Besar, Indonesia. “The art of pollution”.

Seahorse study, because seahorses are too cute

I've been playing with gesture drawing of humans and animals. Here are some quick pencil sketches of horses in motiion. 2B and 6B pencils on Canson sketch pad paper.

Beginning 15. The frog was hungry enough to eat a horse. And !by golly! he was going to try to do it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTXnC5B_s3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

After struggling with horse anatomy from photos, I finally decided to search for white horses, figuring that I would be able to see details more easily than on darker photos. It worked out well, the details were much more discernible.

Devil's coach horse beetle. British folklore has it that a beetle has eaten the core of Eve's apple, and that a person who crushes such beetle is forgiven seven sins. Poor beetles! https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNru1QLEpY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Many beginnings. Beginning 4. Nobody suspected anything yet. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head.

Felt lazy might redraw this later,thinking of a character design of my favorite anthropod
