I have a group over at Gather called the Drawing Challenge Art Theme of the Week group and there's a different art theme every week. So this week, July 13, 2008 thru July 19, 2008 the art theme is Anything Asian. I love horses A LOT and it makes me feel good to draw them so, I always try to incorporate a horse somewhere in each weekly art theme. So I found an old Chinese art book, found a picture of a horse and groom but I just wanted the horse. I knew what I wanted it to look like but I wasn't sure I could do it the way I saw it in my mind but I did! Here is one Chinese-style horse parchment picture, drawn by me in MS Paint and then taken to LunaPic Photo Editor and blurred and then taken to Microsoft Photo Editor and smudged and texturized. Whew! That's a mouthful LOL It's not necessarily the kind of picture I want to draw often, I like more color and the old style horses are different but I'm really excited how this one turned out so I wanted to share it with everyone!

Oh i ever wanted to try riding a horse. My family lives in the farm side of the city and some residents there has horses. unfortunately we don't have one but i saw some who rides them perfectly like they're driving a car. I think it's nice to look at a woman riding a horse, it's more like a skill when a woman knows how to unlike for men. they look normal and it's like a normal thing for them to do.

I really like your drawing and I am impressed with how you made it look like an old Chinese parchment painting. Is the Drawing Challenge Art Theme a contest? If so I hope you will win with your horse picture.

Pretty good drawing. I can't draw much of anything on the computer. I guess I just can't get the mouse to do what I want to do...always ends up really crude and shakey. I like drawing on paper though. I have always loved drawing horses, ever since grade school.
