"Nuzzle"

"Nuzzle" is still a work in progress.  I'm slowly building the darker values without compromising the overall fluidity of the piece.  I'm at the stage where decisions are critical to the success of the piece.  The pony's back still needs more work.  The appaloosa is getting finer details with it's spots. 

This was a photo taken by Candy Cornell, a friend who kindly let me peruse the images she had of her horses.  I fell in love with this image.  Thanks Candy!

    Dors, hmmm....I don't know about that. You certainly make the pencil look easy, when it is just as difficult. As usual....love your comments!
