Below is the final scan of the horse and jockey portrait drawing I have been working on for the past few days. It is 25 x 20cm (10″ x 8″) in size, it is drawn with graphite pencils on Fabriano paper. The pencils I used were a combination of Staedtler and Daler Rowney in 2H to 6B in softness. The drawing is now awaiting client’s approval. It will then be mounted in a soft white mount with backing board ready for collection by the client.
I really enjoyed working on this portrait. I just love the reference photograph from the client and it was a pleasure shading all the muscles and details of the horse and jockey in motion.
I will be updating my gallery page soon with all the new commissions from before and after Christmas. Many were given as Christmas gifts and some as birthday gifts this year. 2013 is to a good start and I am very excited about what new commissions and challenges will I be working on this year.
