PD 16.5x7.5 - Value Strip 1x10

The story behind my art is I drew my first pony this is a part of my life because it shows my love of horses. Ever since I was young I have always loved horses so one of the best times of my life was getting one. But there's always times where you have to say goodbye so this was a photo of my horse a day before I had to say goodbye so he could go to a new home.

The materials I used were charcoal, ink, paper that is colored gray, and the photo I took of my horse. I made it by drawing each square and tinting it to look like the photo.

The process I used to make this was a grid on the photo and my drawing paper. I experimented with this by trying this because this is not the method I normally use to draw. At first my drawing did not look like the photo because my shadows and highlights. But using the grids helped me fis each box so it look like the photo. My next steps could be to work on the eyes and the face. the body of him looks good but the face doesn't look right.
