Recently, I found a lovely image that I've since learned was created by Kay Neilsen, a Danish illustrator who also worked for Disney. His work reminds me of more finely detailed imagery like that on old Vogue magazine covers.
So, I decided to fool around and give drawing it a try...never having done a horse before. I'm delightfully surprised and like how the pen on paper came out. Do you think color is needed? I like the simplicity of it without color...at least right now. You can tell she is moving along with the horse and there is some kind of celebration going on (parade, riding competition, etc.). What kind of story does this type of image lend itself to--from your point of view?
