So mostly nothing that interesting as the heat has literally driven me outside and my workspace has been almost completely unbearable to be in for long. Practicing equines and learning a lot along the way about how I cement my technical knowledge. I see the flaws in most of the sketches already...but I did learn a lot doing these so that's what matters to me.

More art nouveau horns (this is an oldy and I honestly don't remember if I posted it already)

And a second one C:

HORSES!

quick color study based on a butterfly..I think. may redo the markings since Im unhappy how they look in color :/. Oh and the pose D:
That's all for tonight, thanks for taking a peek!
OH and also if anyone has any great websites that would be good horse resources (good photos, anatomy diagrams..anything like that) I'd love links ^__^! Thanks a lot!

I like the noveau Bagheera head a lot too. Those touches of gray really help.

Butterfly horse is really cool! :)

Date: 2009-07-31 09:50 pm (UTC)As for horse links, unfortunately, I use books and stuff more for that...and figured I'd suggest one if you don't mind it! An old friend of mine bought me "Drawing and Painting Horses" by Barbara Oelke, and I love the thing! There's a lot of nice studies of anatomy in there and closeups the head and hooves (both fore and hind), with both musculature and skeleton included, and if you don't have ready access to real horses, it's one of the next best things to have for a reference!
