RE: Drawing a horse in black and white.

in ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱ12 days ago (edited)

Painting a horse isn't easy. The first ones I drew were a long time ago, and I even had to do them by watching a YouTube video, just like you. In my case, it was because I didn't know how to draw 😅.

Later, I got the hang of drawing a horse, but you know, I can't draw one without a picture or an idea of a horse that I can see on my phone. And so, little by little, I paint.

Looking at your painting up close, I have to say I loved it 😀. That background landscape, along with the sand and water, makes the drawing look fantastic. The colors of the horse and the way it runs through the water bring the painting to life; it's excellent. Thanks for everything, my friend. See you later.

If you ask me there's nothing wrong about watching a YouTube video to learn how to draw let's be fair at most schools you no longer are told how to draw or how to do any skills unlike what I had a primary school already. If you want to attend drawing lessons it can be very expensive and I do believe that autodidact, people who told themselves how to paint doing a way better job than many of those attending an art school. Friends of mine and my children are good examples of that, but it needs practice every day, every single day and interest in the subject.

You do a great job since it's not easy to stay motivated I hope you keep drawing and painting.

Hey friend, sorry for not replying sooner. I started school two days ago and I've been really busy, but I've finally found some time for Steemit and to chat.

You know, I agree with you. I was taught to draw in elementary school, but after elementary school, no other school offered painting classes. I've never been to an art school, so I've had to learn on my own. I'm also grateful to my mom for helping me learn to paint.

Thanks for everything, friend. I'll try to stay active, draw, and create for Steemit. I'm glad you liked my drawings. I'll try to make time for Steemit every time I get home from school. See you later, have a great day!😀

Good luck at school. If it comes to drawing you can also finish one drawing in several days. If you have time look at the latest post of @aellly. Each picture he shows is one evening work.

❤️🍀

Thanks, although school takes up some of my time, I'll try to post regularly.

That sounds like a good idea; I have to do it. Since I have less time, I can work on a drawing for a post over several days and, when I finish it, I'll post it. Great idea, thanks!

I checked out the posts and the one you mentioned about Aellly; her drawings are amazing, I loved them. She does fantastic work. I think I can do the same: work on the drawings at night and get ahead. Thanks for everything, friend, see you later. You're a great person.

It is strange isn't it how we always tend to believe that if you start something it has to be finished the same moment or at least that same day. I know I feel that way and at times it's okay because if you can do a quick drawing a day or perhaps twice a day you can get more experience. There's no need to because if you do something every day you have practice too and time to check and see what your next step will be.

I wish you a great day.

You're absolutely right. You know, I'm like that too; I usually finish my drawings the same day, but sometimes I don't have time and end up doing them over two days. I don't know why I do it, but it's helped me stay active on Steemit. I don't think I have much experience drawing, but doing these drawings for Steemit has helped me improve. Thanks for everything, friend, have a good day too.
