I haven't done a horse since 2005 and decided it is time to do it again. One of my goals in 2009 is to do more animals and I want to do more than 1 horse. It was quite interesting to draw her. I couldn't help but give her some light soft hair to kind of add a more dreamy touch to it. It's interesting because you can actually get an emotion to show on the animals face. It surprised me a little on this one, to me she has a kind of cute expression.

The horse is based on one of my personal photos of my boyfriend's sister's horse, I took last summer. It was a beautiful sunny day and the horse was a good poser - except one of her ears kept going backwards whenever I was ready to take the photo. Was quite funny.
