| "Spirit Walking" pencil |
I began this drawing by focusing on the negative space surrounding the horse, as opposed to the horse itself. The horse in the picture captured my attention with his expression and energy at the walk. When I first began drawing the negative space, it didn't look very good- but then as I continued, I saw that the proportions of the horse turned out very well indeed, and it helped me create a better composition than usual. Since the reference photo was a bit blurry, I decided I would return to my previous phase of "spirit" horses and enjoy the zen-like feeling of drawing squiggly lines and shapes within its body. I did start working on this drawing on Paint, but my patience and enjoyment was at an end- so that will be a project for another time. I envision this horse to be all tints and shades of turquoise, with a white mane and tail, on a warm, earthen background. The trip to the Southwest is rapidly approaching, and I hope to find some personal inspiration and guidance during my adventure. This drawing, for me, captures that hope and possibility.
