![]() Working on a reverse image of the drawing and from a reversed reference photo helps correct that bias.Ī final round of revisions and corrections on the front and the drawing is ready to be transferred to the art paper. The reason for this is that I draw with a natural right-handed bias. I repeat this process until the drawing is as correct as possible from both sides (front and back). I also flip the reference photo on the computer. Again, I make corrections and adjustments. I turn the tracing paper over and redraw the drawing from the back. The next step is making a reverse drawing. I make changes and corrections throughout this process, refining the drawing, increasing the level of detail, and making the drawing as accurate as possible. When the drawing has advanced as much as possible with the use of the grid, I transfer it to tracing paper and redraw it. It may take only a day or two to reach this point (as with this drawing) or it may take a week, depending on the size and complexity of the drawing. ![]() The rough drawing is then refined on the gridded paper. The colored pencil drawing passes through several revisions, as shown below, beginning with a rough drawing on the grid. ![]() Since I’m not naturally a technical artist, I prefer the first of those two methods.

The icing on the cake was that I had the opportunity to observe this beautiful horse. The lighting was good and color saturation on the photograph was also good. She’s an Arabian that has the typical Arabian “look” and a unique color.

I started by sketching the outline of the animalĪnd then I started to pay attention to all the small details and strokes. You can follow the process of drawing on the photos below. I also used pencils of different softnesses in particular 2B, 4B, and 6B which allowed me to really bring out the details of my drawing. This time I decided to use kraft paper for my work.
