I really love how this turned out. I've always wanted to sketch something on a plain scratchboard and when I was told it was our next project I was overly excited. I instantly thought of doing a horse, but what I didn't know was what view of the horse I was going to scratch out. I knew I had pictures in my phone of horses at my barn, so I went into my gallery and started scrolling. Horse butt? Nope. Horse eye? Nope. Side view? Nope. Frontal view? Hmmm.......I think yes! I took the pic I had and started sketching on a practice sheet of scratchboard. I couldn't quite get the shape or the view right, so I took what I had and brought it to the big board. I sketched with an eraser and when I finally thought I had everything good, I started the final one. I definitely took more time on this one than the practice one, but I'm glad I got all the details in. I kinda wish I didn't crosshatch it, but I think it still turned out pretty well.
