Horse Graphite Portrait

© Christine Perry

My newest drawing just recently completed.  This graphite portrait was done for a dear friend of mine of her horse Bonnie who passed over the rainbow bridge a while back.  I enjoyed drawing this portrait, and it gives me great pleasure to know it will be treasured by my friend.  I just got word that she received it, so now I can finally post it here on my blog.

As some of you know,  Charles and I recently became parents to one amazing little boy.  He was born in China and spent the first 2 years of his life in an orphanage. We are so happy to be his parents and so look forward to seeing him grow and develop to his full potential.  This leaves me with very little time right now to draw as much as I would like, but  I will update this blog and share my new work when I can.

Portrait Update 6

 The shirt is now almost half way finished, and after it is done I'll touch up the face a bit more (especially the forehead), and the background. So I am on the home stretch here and should have this completed by the end of the week if everything goes as planned.  ;-)

Portrait Update 5

This update shows a little bit more layering to the face, as well as neck and background work done. There is a bit more layering to do, then I'll move on to render the shirt.
