The Thoroughbred
I drew this in 2005 and it is probably the last piece I've drawn. Unfortunately, I've since lost it and only have the digital photos I took of it now. The photo I used for reference was of a VERY typey Trakehner, yet the finished product ended up looking like Hank, the Thoroughbred I leased at the time. Silly subconscious. Hank must have been my muse. My favorite thing about this sketch is the ears and eye. The eye just kills me. It has the look only a Thoroughbred could give you. The 'look of eagles' I think they call it. Big, brown Thoroughbred eyes. *sigh* My least favorite parts are the neck around the jowl area, it's just too thick, and the horrendous muzzle. I just could not get it to look how I wanted. Anyway, that's my take on it. Feel free to add any comments or constructive criticism.
