I was Horse-Drawing Girl
I think every high school class in America (and probably elsewhere) has That Girl Who Draws Horses All the Time. In my class, it was me. I was not, at the time, anywhere near as good at it as I am now, but that's what all the practice was for.
Lukas the Dressage Horse, 11 x 8", carbon pencil and pastel on Rives BFK Tan paper.
Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE Rives BFK Tan? <3 <3 <3 It's thick and toothy and soft, you can erase the heck out of it without ruining it, and for this drawing I used a brush and water over my carbon pencil drawing to smooth the texture and add depth, and the Rives paper lets me do that because it dries flat instead of buckling. LOVE.
The carbon pencil is Wolff's and is another of my very very favorite materials.
