And it’s the update that’s little, not the drawing!
I posted a previous work in progress on this drawing in this post, and now have another update. I’ve decided what I want to do with it now, but it needs to be finished by the end of September, so I need to get on with it!

I see the grid–I used to do that as well. Why the mix of pencils? I should get out my box of Derwent; I’ve always used Faber-Castell Ebony just because they are familiar, but I’ve been using several Derwent pencils for my daily sketches.
Yeah, I started using the grid for commissions to get my outlines just right then got out of the habit of drawing freehand! I really should get back into the habit though! I’ve always used Derwents – I think because they were readily available and I got on well with them. I like the Onyx pencils coz they create lovely deep darks, but also light shades so i can be lazy and do a whole drawing with 1 pencil!! I must try Faber castell Ebony – I’ve just started using their polychromos coloured pencils and really like them.
BEAUTIFUL! Horses are so beautiful and your drawings are really true-to-life portraits. The movement can be seen even though this isn’t finished. It’s truly skillful. Love it!
