So, just thought I'd show off some of my art. I've only been taking my drawings seriously for about 6 years, so it's not nearly as good as some old pros, but it's something I enjoy doing, because I love horses.
I can also draw other things; dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, humans....but I prefer horses
Here's some old stuff of mine (from 2005 and 2006) when I first started to take my art seriously, and before I found my own original style. They are 'realism' portraits...just not that good! I have improved a bit since then, and have developed my own style.
My first time coloring my work, before then, they were just sketches. I colored this with colored pencils and gel pens in 2006.
My first time really putting some effort into realism. Done with derwent shading pencils back in 2005.
Here's a couple pieces from 2008, after a couple years of practice:
Yeah, I know...wierd! It's a blue 'ninja' horse I did on textured paper with sharpie markers and colored pencils.
I just love fantasy, so I made this strange pegasus hybrid. It's a red-golden pheasant horse. Done with colored pencils and sharpies. Horrible wing placement! You'll see in my 2010 are that my wing-placement on pegasus has gotten better!
And, here's a piece I did in 2009 of another 'ninja' horse character I made for a story I wrote. This guy's name is Katavi.
I drew the horse with sharpies and colored pencils, but the background was hastily done with an image-editing program called GIMP (a cheap version of photoshop). I don't like digital art and I never tried it again after this.
