Description
Horses were the one thing I always drew as a kid. Hadn't touched them since until recently. The shapes seemed familiar, but I was clueless about the detail. Amazing how much you didn't pick up on as a kid.Materials: Pencil and cardstock
Reference used: [link]
(Other drawing had reference too but I don't recall whose I used. If you recognize it, please tell me so I can give proper cred!)

A definite fav. I adore the looseness andb sketchness of the lines and how (despite this) you have got horse anatomy down to a T, also love the way the horse on the right becomes more detailed almost as though it is forming (leaping?) out of the paper

Thanks.
Loose sketches are my favorite - the more detailed I go, the more my tendency to over render the wrong places.

I never really quite seemed to master drawing horses yet myself, but you seem to draw them extremely well!

Love it. The strong lines add great movement and energy.

It looks awesome....the only thing I noticed was the small front hooves on the horse to the left. I do that all the time...I start in one place at one size and end up having to adjust the scale.
Still a fantastic drawing, regardless!

Oh gosh you're right. I'll have to watch that next time.

The only reason I noticed is cause I do it too....and I'm a little OCD.
I have a nasty habit of having moderately sized heads that I'm more than happy with...while the rest of the body looks like it might belong to a draft horse.

Funny you should say that. I just finished a semester of figure drawing class and that was my teacher's biggest gripe. I did it in like EVERY picture.
Pity he didn't point it out to me earlier.

Not awful for not having picked up horses for a while.
