Horse studies 8th Nov ’20

– I saw a video of a horse kicking and rolling and wanted to draw it. I think my understanding of horse anatomy and construction is slowly improving. I also wanted to experiment with a doodle-y style.

Then yesterday (Friday 13th Nov 2020) I tried a more simple / folk art style with a bright colour and a more silhouetted horse – I wanted this image to evoke the nighttime, and to feel more like something from a story being told. I also love 50s and 60s style art, like the opening sequences to films of that period such as Saul Bass’ work, and also the Cartoon Modern style, which often uses blocks of bright colour, so this was also influenced by that.
