I’ve now completed my second month of drawing a minimum of one horse a day. I started on 14th March – here’s the link to the first month. Thanks Struthless for the tip on this. I think I might actually go mad; I’m sure interested to see.
Sometimes I really am not in the mood to Horse. Sometimes I am. The only way to approach this exercise is to do it anyway, and if you get a crappy token horse (like, say day 62), it just doesn’t matter.
The Patons Knitting books I’ve also been working from often weirdly has horses as props, so I have done two horses that way:
The eye worked well 
1940s was the best men’s fashion except for the moustaches 
Something went horribly wrong in 1970s knitting mags
This month I started shading more, focused a bit on doing a few GOOD drawings, drew a zebra, donkey, and mule, did some more non traditional style drawings. I think month three is when I’m going to go a bit whack on interpreting horse. Because I’m bored of horses now.
