Well….this is too much fun. I’ve spent a few hours using the photo touch-up program on my computer to enhance my original graphite pencil drawing of an Arabian horse. I’m actually pretty impressed and the process is a hoot. Could spend several more hours on this project, just to discover what all I can produce [...]
Here’s a graphite pencil sketch of an Arabian horse that I did earlier.

I actually did several drawings that afternoon, and will be posting them soon, some done from life, others from photographs I took. Hope [...]
