I used a different technique when attempting to draw this horse. I think it’s called ‘Cross Hatching’.Ā It uses fine parallel lines drawn closely together to give shading and texture. I need a little more practice though!
I am a mother of two children, and have had many experiences in my life that I have been through and had to overcome. I feel it would be beneficial (at least to me, and perhaps you) to share my experiences. Iād love to hear your comments and suggestions. x
The horse is so well done! It’s soft and delicate and your artistry is just beautiful in your drawing of this magnificent creature. Is s/he a friend of yours? Mona
Thank you Mona. I copied it from a photograph.I have been asked to try horse riding with a friend but I’ve not plucked up the courage to go yet,but I really want to.They are so beautiful. Have you been riding?x
Pip,
I’m a native Texan and I’ve been on a horse exactly once in my life. It was much different than I expected. I always wanted to go back, but that hasn’t happened. Anyway, thank God the horse was in control because he and I both knew that I wasn’t! He was gentle is what I remember and he took me straight back to the barn without any effort on my part. I walked a little funny afterwards, too. Anyway, if you ever come to Texas, I’ll make sure that I sign us up. ~ M

That is a good drawing. It shows constraint and economy. Sterling work.
