It's Nearly A Horse

I have only tried to draw the heads and shoulders of animals up to now. Here is my first attempt at a full horse.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Ken,
Animals present a good drawing challenge, don't they? I think you've achieved a good likeness.

Do you wait overnight and then view your work again, on the next day? That is the part I love the most. I experience wonder that I drew that, and also I notice any errors that weren't obvious while I was involved in the drawing.

You can use your pencil to measure the size of the head in relation to the body, and to the legs. Then make little dots on your paper and map out the outline with these crude measurements. I find that helps.

I've said it before - I like your style!
