Horse pastel portrait finished

The pastel portrait of Irish Draught X TB mare 'Bea' is now finished. Here's a photo:

I am now working on the cat and also a charcoal dog portrait of two Bloodhounds which should be finished soon.

New horse commission

After several feline portraits - two of which I am still working on - it's back to horses. ;o) My latest horse commission is of a beautiful grey Thoroughbred x Irish Draught mare called 'Bea'. She will be drawn in pastels on A3 sized paper. I have just finished the pencil outline:

Thoroughbred foal full body portrait

A full body study for a change! This foal is a very young Thoroughbred X stallion and he is being drawn in pastels. Quite a small portrait on A4 but thanks to my new set of Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils, even very fine detail can be achieved. Unlike other pastel pencils, these are not a problem to sharpen.
