OSK!

I finally went out to see Jenny Lerew's Icelandic horses and I got a chance to sketch this one named "Osk". It was fun!

WOW! Hol-lee. Dave these are awesome. I can't figure you how you got so much solidity and movement.
My hat is off to you sir.

Jenny Lerew said...

That's my Osk-y, alright. ; )

My favorite's the rolling sketch; you got it!

Beauties! What colour are these horses in reality? I'm guessing WHITE?

Jenny Lerew said...

Matt J. I'll barge in and hijack Dave's blog to answer:
they're a color called "bay", which is a reddish-brown with black mane and tail. I can see where you might think "white"(horsey trivia: NO one ever calls a white horse "white"--for some bizarre reason even the whitest horses are called "grey", officially).
Since these are gesture drawings done with a japanese brush-cartridge pen the aim is to get the movement and form(and--no pun intended!--"spirit").
If Dave had had some watercolors or a wash, etc. they'd look colored. Anyweay, that's my 2 cents--Mr. Pimentel, feel free to smack me down if I'm wrong! ; )

Sorry. : (
DP: please do send me your email-if I had it I lost it.

Hello! Very inspiring work. Thanks.

Sweet lookin' horses!

Everytime I have to draw horses it takes me a while to ease into it. I have a great amount of respect for anyone who draws horses well.

Best horse resource: Ken Hultgren's Art of Animal Drawing.
