Horse and Other Things

I watched some Olympic dressage this morning and it made me really want to draw a horse, because I haven't drawn one in a while. I thought it might be fun to try and paint one from scratch on Photoshop, so that's what this is:

As someone who doesn't really paint, I'm pretty happy with this. It took a few hours (maybe 4?).

Also, check out this first in a series of illustrations I'm doing for this new website- link.  I'll be doing a new illustration every month. The prompt was suicide, and each issue will follow a one of these characters as they reflect back on memories of a girl who committed suicide. A little heavier fare than I'm used to, but it's been a good project and I'm having fun with it.
