Sunday Stills - Eye(s)

 


The eyes of a horse can tell you so much... about their basic temperament, their mood, their level of pain, even their age. Beamer is showing his age now as you can see above his eye.

I have always wanted to do a drawing of a horse's eye, and also wanted to try colored pencils- so I did this one of Rio based on a photo I took years ago. I have a lot to learn about this media, so I am going to try an online tutorial.

I must admit I would not have guessed that was Beamer. I think because I am used to seeing him a darker black. It's a beautiful shot! Nice drawing. SO great that you are drawing again, and color pencil is my fav, wait until you get into blending with white or a blender pencil :))
