Etc.

pen-and-brush-couple

A couple, done with brush pen, and cheap black ball-point. Below, an earlier horse I didn't like. But I saw what I had already put up on the blog, and so thought, "what the heck?"

I've been drawing horses for years, ever since working at a stables in my youth. Never quite could get the back legs right. I think that's more because I stand them in stiff, unnatural positions (and hate copying directly from photos). Sort of like some of my people. A figure down below looked good, and less stiff because I based her on an "S" - curve.

That's the trouble with working out of your head, and being self-taught. You get into ruts, and end up drawing symbols rather than things that breathe. Still working on that, which is perhaps often just the need to relax more.
