Drawing – Running Horse

December 15th, 2006 – For Briana’s 10th Birthday she chose a horse as the subject she’d most like me to draw for her. Although she knew the subject, she didn’t know what I would choose, so there would still be an element of surprise. I looked up horse images on Google and narrowed the final [...]
