About this work

This drawing shows a single, stretched-out horse made of loose, dark pencil lines. The background is just a pale, smooth paper. The horse’s legs and neck are long and wobbly, like it’s mid-gallop but not quite solid. The sketch feels quick and rough, almost like a first try. The lines aren’t neat—they’re messy, with some smudges and uneven strokes. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
