Friday Freebie!

Here is another horse drawing for your coloring pleasure! This one is part of my Intricate My Little Curly collection. I've combined a horse image with a floral image to create an image in the style of many adult coloring books. The flowers are Edelweiss- a German mountain flower. The horse is performing the piaffe - a trot in place. 

Friday Freebie

I created this meme-like poster for my daughter. She is a true little artist--mess and all! Her free-spirit inspires me. 😃

Happy Easter!

Here are some My Little Curly drawings just hopping off the page waiting to be colored! 

Have a blessed Easter season!

Fun with Lines - My Little Curly Style

I got creative with lines while I was going for more detail with the My Little Curly series the other night. My mother-in-law let me know pretty quickly that she really enjoyed coloring these. So much in fact, that when I brought her a duplicate, she quickly colored it again. Believe it or not, these were fun to add details to as well. So more of these will be added too.

Zig Zag

I drew this one with the different direction lines indicating different body parts, but not really paying strict attention to the musculature of the horse. Just vaguely thinking of where this turned into that. I also gave him a facial marking to divide up his face a little better so it didn't seem so bland. I think it turned out really well.

Striations

 This one is kind of based on the pulley effect the muscles have on one another. I didn't study them absolutely and I'm sure I didn't do it accurately, but it made for an interesting criss-cross of colors and lines. You could do a lot with this one if you wanted to blend your primary colors to create the secondary colors where the primaries overlap. I really like the way it looks.

Zig Zag 2nd time

This second Zig Zag is still as interesting as the first. It just goes to show that even if you color it once, you can still have fun coloring it again without it turning out the same. This one could almost be done in a color gradient way with the colors fading up or down depending on your preference. Its a very striking image, if I do say so myself - especially once it is colored!

If you would like *.pdf or *.jpg files of either or both of these images, please contact me via email or comment below. I will get back with you as soon as possible. 

If you would like to request a horse, flower, vehicle, or anything else based on a photograph (even if I have to find a photograph), please contact me. I'll let you know what I can do.

My Little Curly through the Seasons

I told you I'd been drawing up a storm. Here's another one. This one goes with the My Little Curly series. Again, my lovely mother-in-law was gracious enough to be my guinea pig and test these images out for me. These are 2 in what will eventually be a series of 4 based on the 4 seasons.

Brisk Autumn

 Brisk Autumn is covered with a collection of fall leaves turning and blowing in the wind as they do on a brisk autumn day. His powerful gallop gives credence to that wind as we horsemen know that horses love the brisk autumn days to act full of oats.

Catch the Cold

Catch the Cold is full of whimsy and fun as this little filly sticks her tongue out to catch a snowflake falling during a snow storm. Her body is covered by similar snowflakes while her tail is flipped over her back showing the cold weather her sass. As a Curly Horse, she'll never be caught in the cold though since her dense coat insulates her from all but the most wet chill.

These images are available as well as many others from the My Little Curly series (more will be forth-coming for your viewing pleasure - I've drawn close to 100) upon request. Please contact me via email or comment below if you are interested. 

As always, requests for horses, flowers, or almost anything based on a photograph (even if I have to find it myself) will be considered. Just drop me a line, and I'll let you know what I can do for you.

Happy Halloween!

Here are 2 samples of the series I call 'My Little Curly' for Halloween. I have about 60 of them at this point and plan to offer them for individual sale and as a coloring book collection. I'm still searching for a good app to convert the JPEG files to PDF files. Constant ideas for more horses in the series flit through my mind, so check back here often if you're interested in this series. Without further ado...
