Pictures finally...

I have some picture of works in progress. The first two are almost done and just need a few details before I list them for sale. I have to warn that my camera takes everything to the extreme when shot indoors, and makes all the reds really bright and everything really contrasty. I will have better pictures when these guys are all done and I can take them outside.

The next two are a little farther from being done, but they are getting there. Scarlett and Indy are both about at the same stage, which works out well when it comes to doing the details like eyes and hooves. First Indy:
Next Scarlett:
Then Whisper. This guy is staying with me. He is a loose portrait of my filly's dad Will Spot Ya:

Last but not least, are Stormwatch and Sadeek, both in their first stages of oils, and both have the uglies going on right now.

Small Updates

I have not been able to work on anything for a couple weeks, but I do have a couple pieces so close to completion. I have a bay Smittyn resin that just needs a little detail to the hooves. She has four white socks and a stripe. Such a cute little resin! I have a little sm Morgan, but I can't remember his name or who sculpted him, but he is a dark dapple gray done in pastels. He also just needs some hoof detail and will be ready to go. I will most likely list both of them on MH$P when ready. I would love to go to some live shows, but the closest one to me doesn't exist anymore, and it is tough to justify a overnight trip to show some models! The Stormwatch has a first coat of very light grey paint on his mane, to start covering up the red primer. The Indy is so close to being done, I pretty much finished his mane and tail, and will have some details still to do.

I am going to try and get some current pictures soon!

Updates and up and coming

I haven't been working on the colored pencil drawing much, but school has started back up and I am trying my best to concentrate on it.

Scarlett: Almost done, finishing up front legs, and then will just have the details.

Indy: Started working on his back legs.

I have a Stormwatch waiting in primer, I think I am going to paint him to a Bay Silver, possibly an overo.

Others in primer and ready to paint are: Sadeek, Hadrian, Smittyn, and BHR yearling.

I am also working on the tobiano markings on a Whisper that will be for my own collection.

Sorry, no pictures right now, but maybe when I get some more work done. :)

Arabian in Graphite

Here's a little pencil drawing I came across hiding in one of my drawing pads. One of the things I love about graphite is it is so much faster than prismacolors. It is now kept safely in a Itoya folder.

Colored Pencil Drawing Update

Here's what I have so far on my Scribbles drawing. I am not quite satisfied with the bosal quite yet, but there is a few things I can still do to it. I have started blocking in her muzzle and forelock. Her mane and neck will most likely be the last thing I do, because it will have to be careful and tedious work since the hair is all white. There is also a chance I might change the reins up that attach to the curb bit. I might change them to romals. Here's a close up:

Colored Pencil WIP

It has been a long time since I have worked in colored pencil, and I really enjoy it so much. This is a friends paint mare that I took a picture of specifically for this drawing. I usually do the tack first, then the eye and then the rest of the horse. Sorry that the picture is not great it was show with a zoom lense that has a macro feature and I couldn't get far enough away from it.

Indy and Scarlett

These two are work in progress. Indy I have been working on a long time. I had a hard time figuring out what kind of grey he wanted to be, and finally settled on this shade. He is done in pastels and has little etched hairs all over. The pan pastels I bought really sped up his progress. I hope to mostly finish him over winter break.

Scarlett has been done entirely in pan pastels, and I think she will be done soon, eventhough I have a lot of smoothing and shading to do. She isn't quite so blue in person, but I am going to add more brown to her.

I have a ton of other nekkid resins to work on, hopefully I will have more to report on soon!
