These hardy ponies and horses all have different characters. I like the way they keep one ear pointed forward and one is angled back to check on what the other ponies are doing behind.
I have been using Fabriano Artico paper which has a warmer tone and drawing inks that can give a range of tones and washes.
The horses are not stabled or regularly groomed and stay out in the field all day so their manes are unkempt and long, this creates a challenge for the drawing.
I have experimented with the inks onto a manilla parcel paper. It crinkles a bit as it is very absorbant but I quite like the effect of the brown tones. I have added some highlights with white acrylic.
