Here is my entry for this week of @sirsensei's #drawitbetter contest. The topic, Horse Portrait.
I have never really drawn a Horse seriously so this is a first for me. Once I got my initial rough frame down I decided to add character to the horse by giving him a mouthful of hay. I then proceeded to outline, colour, texture and shade in my usual style. This was drawn on Krita, using my Wacom Intuos Art 4 pen & touch graphics tablet.
Below is a gif-set of my process,
I'm happy with this one. Being the first horse I have seriously drawn, it was difficult in the beginning to get the shape looking right. But in the end I feel like I got there! What do you think?
Great work Magiccleatus,
That is incredibly good for your first horse!! Please do more "life drawing"...
Any pets, wildlife or people would be great for you to draw!
That is brilliant! Considering it's your first time drawing a horse portrait you have got its shape and characteristics down really well. I have no doubt you will do well in your contest :) great job!
