"Ciao", pencil on paper
Here's the follow on to last weeks "Footloose": "Ciao"This is Zig Zag once again at full speed on a fresh sunny spring morning.
The very interesting thing about drawing foals is the way in which you have to render their little muscles: they are so defined and tense yet underdeveloped. The other thing is the over-dimensional width and length of their legs...a little surreal. Just can't help smiling when drawing them though.
Thanks for popping by,
more soon.

"Footloose", pencil on paper
Here she is again: young filly Zig Zag frolicking around as a playful three day old.
New title of this study: "footloose": it sprung to mind and just stuck....!
It's not a massive drawing 17 x20cm (image size), I've had very little time this week (the girls are still on their Easter break and are keeping me on my toes.)
So this is a result of my night shift endeavour.
Had fun, loved the mixed expression of determination and surprise in her young eyes.
They are just soooooo cute at that age.
