This is what my first art challenge looks like. The first thing I did was draw a draft of the horse. My first draft was a horse jumping, but after a few hours of work I found out it was going to look up to the standard I wanted. After the draft I was happy with what the horse looks like. On the real project I started with my horse's face. Then I made the neck and feeding trough. After I got all the drawing done I started giving the picture some color. As I was adding color I used a clean kleenex to smooth away most of the color pencil lines, other then for the feeding trough to give a wood feel to it. ( sorry the pictures are upside down i can't get then to rotate the right way)
I really like the way you made the horse pop off of the paper. Did you know that horses only have flat teeth because they are herbivores? I can connect with this with a picture I made last year and gave it an outline to make it come off the page almost. Is there anything else you plan to add to this photo in the future?

I though giving the feeding trough a wooden feel was a good idea. I think the horse looks good to. Good job.

It looks great! I love the idea of smoothing the pencil lines with a kleenex, do you think that smoothing over lines with a towel or something different would give it a different effect? That would be pretty cool!
