Description
This is a commission I worked on over Christmas, but I'm just now getting around to posting it. I really loved working on this one: I mean, just look at that pose! I wasn't planning on drawing the background, but I just had to work that smoke in there somehow. The fringe on her chaps nearly killed me, but after I muscled through it I have to say this is definitely one of my favorite Western portraits that I've worked on.
This is a 14x17 drawn with 2H - 8B pencils. Original photo credit belongs to Mr. Quigley Photography (www.mrquigleyphotography.com/ ).

Love the action in this, you can almost hear the hooves against the gravel. Amazing job with the details!

What a wonderful drawing! The detail is amazing - do you use a putty eraser to get the more intricate lighter areas done? (such as the whiskers)

Thank you! Yes, I use a kneading eraser (same thing) - I definitely couldn't do all the detail without it!
