What a well behaved horse. A Percheron pony that you think is white til u look at him closely. Lots of greys and even black. W some yellows.
Look for Toby and Sarah in an ad for Aiken soon!!

Not often you see a pony being driven down a street well except in Aiken SC where anything horse related goes.
Our friend Sarah texted us to come and see her do just that and of course I had to draw them heading down Williamsburg Street with a film crew not far behind. I didn’t stick around to see the filming but did manage a couple of quick sketches. Inktober has its demands, doesn’t it? Constant care and feeding
The pony is her Percheron named Toby and the guy with her actually competes in international carriage contests. Who knew there was such a thing!

Was not to wild about the angle that I had on the model today so I moved at first break. This was done in about 40 min. Ink because it’s Inktober! Her hip was the biggest thing that I could see. And I cut off her left foot. Story Ilania!
So I moved the easel and started over. Maybe it’s better?! Not sure. But there was no view from the head end at all. I used white gouache to add highlights.

This may be a WIP. Thinking about more writing in the background.
Mobs of people in Nacho Mamas yesterday who begged to be drawn.
Funny story. One of my fav people was talking to the long haired guy with her back to me. I heard this laugh and I was thought who’s got Erica’s laugh. Duh it was Erica. Lol. They were just a few feet from me. But all I could see was her long straight black hair and I was so busy drawing I didn’t notice anything but her oh so fun laugh.

Guess you have noticed I am posting one day late but hey I have done the sketch on the sixth so hmm I think it’s to early to be typing.
Going to take some
Dog paintings with me when I go to Atlanta for a nearby high end dog treat store. Hope they will take them. This sketch needs something else on the right. Not sure what but it will come. So will the paint.
Off to Aiken for life modeling. Happy Inktober!
