A charcoal sketch of a horseβs face and upper body is depicted. The horseβs head is centered in the composition, with its large ears pointed upward and slightly tilted. Its face is detailed, with a prominent white stripe running down the center of its forehead and nose, contrasted against the darker shading of the charcoal. The horseβs eyes are soft and expressive, and its muzzle is well-defined, showing nostrils and slight curvature. The background and parts of the horseβs body are shaded in softer charcoal strokes, creating depth and texture, but without heavy detailing. The overall feel is atmospheric, and the horse appears calm and gentle.

a "wire frame" of the subject of the drawing, drawn to understand the shapes and planes of the horse
On Tuesday's Observational Drawing class, the subject was a portrait of a horse. I and several others chose to draw using charcoal. #charcoal #drawing #ObservationalDrawing #observation #rendering #GrouperArtsCrafts @hellogrouper #class #ArtClass #learning #experimentation #fun
