A Very Busy Day

. . . Of Sketching that is!  ☺ I got out all my how-to-sketch-horses books today and looked them over. Some I have had since grade school! (almost antiques now, I guess.) I read through all of them and got even more excited about sketching horses than ever before! I am coming up with my own formula.



I think that if you learn how to draw a horse, (like the human body) you can draw just about anything. In college, my illustration teacher, Beth Krush, always said how I was really lucky to know horses so well, because they were so hard to draw correctly. I am hoping to get even better at drawing them this summer as I study their anatomy and their physiology.



 I hope some of you all will enjoy my sketching journey as well! Today I did some more 2 minute gesture drawings too.

  1. Wonderful, Sandy! I love these. I've just started taking riding lessons, and have been thinking lots about horse anatomy. These are great.

  3. Love the shape demonstration you are sharing and love those horse gestures!!!! I haven't gained the courage yet to try the full body. I'm working on it though (the courage that is) :)

  4. Hello Sandy!
    I am so glad I've found this blog, and it is a wonderful inspiration to me. I also love horses and love to draw them - with a lot of flaws.
