'Grow'vember day 5 - Horses

Day 5 topic - horses

I'd love to be able to take full credit for this week's studies, but alas I have to be clear that good use was made of the enormous amount of reference available on the internet. Much of the hard work of simplifying and deconstructing form has already been done in the case of man's other best friend - horses. Where applicable, thanks to those artists who will recognize their hard work in my drawing studies, and I hope this simple statement is credit enough.

Day 4 topic - vampire bats

I had no idea vampire bats are so fascinating. They have so much personality and variation. I could easily spend the month studying bats alone. I also discovered a species called a Greater False Vampire Bat. How sad to be called false.
