Draw a Horse Portrait in Colored Pencil

Here is the final drawing of the horse, with a few details added in with digital magic. I scanned and colour corrected the drawing, and I have laid in a gradient background using Photoshop. Some people will call this cheating. I can labouriously put in a coloured pencil background, but I do not see any problems with using the digital tools to my advantage. It is also possible to adjust the colours in hue, value and intensity using the software. It is immense fun to manipulate the drawing now that it is finished. Experiment and have fun!
