My Arabian horse drawing is a piece I am especially excited about. I have been horse riding since I was 6 years old. However I had loved horses long before that but on my 6^th birthday I was given a certificate that said I was going to start riding lessons. I felt and still feel I was the luckiest girl alive. It was a dream come true. Ever since my love for horses has only grown. I have decided to take a bit of a break from wildlife and focus on horses. I used to only draw horses. But felt I could not make any money from just horses. So I decided to do an Arabian horse drawing.

Arabian horses are stunning. Slight delicate faces and long flowing manes. They have a floating gate, and are very intelligent and sensitive animals. I wanted something punchy to draw so I decided on this bay Arabian horse.

My Arabian horse drawing has been a wonderful experience. I wanted my Arabian horse drawing to show all the beautiful details in their dished faces. I feel pretty accomplished with that goal. Despite the drawing only being an 8×10 inch drawing I think it has a pleasing amount of detail.

Here is a quick little video of me working on my Arabian horse drawing.

For my Arabian horse drawing I experimented more with Zest it pencil blender. What I found is that it made the colours more vibrant and the blacks richer. I am really looking forward to using this product more in the future.

I hope you all love my Arabian horse drawing as much as I have enjoyed working on it. Let me know If there are any horse breeds you would like to see.

Here are some interesting Arabian horse facts.

Arabians were originally bred in the Middle East. The Arabian horse is the oldest purebred horse in the world.

Arabians are intelligent, sensitive and courageous creatures. They are loyal if treated well and they enjoy the attention.
