Watering the Horse

I have lately been wanting to draw some horses and riders, using my reference photos from the reenactment we had out here a few years ago.  I am using my Pitt pens and sketching in the figures loosely.  Too scared to jump in with the ink directly, I did a light sketch with my mechanical pencil.  This allowed me to make sure my proportions were right between horse and rider.  It was fun to sketch them in ink, so fun that I did another one!  Drawing number 1279 in 1279 Days :)

After returning home from Michael's Academic Awards ceremony which immediately followed Alan's Second Grade Show, I am posting a vintage style pen and ink sketch of this woman tending her flowers.  I have an acrylic painting almost finished for my month of figure studies, but I am just too tired to tie up the loose ends.  I'll take care of that tomorrow.  This drawing makes the 1163rd piece in 1163 days.
