almost 4 years ago

Hello Friends,

Life is full of challenges and it's he who takes on those challenges irrespective of failures or success, will gain the experience to face any such further challenges.

Having said about the Challenges, we are into Day 15 of the Daily Drawing Challenge initiated by @maxwellmarcusart and @firefly2020.

Day 15's theme is an animal and it's Horse, yes, we have a theme of Horse today and here is my Water colored Horse for the challenge.

Steps I followed: Drew the Horse face part roughly as in below picture.

It seems the humans started domesticating the horses as back as in 4000 BC itself.

Coloring of the Horse. Started with upper part of the face and background as we can see below. Blue mixed with a little of green and pink for background and Orange and purple to the face to start with.

An interesting fact about horse is that, it can sleep even when standing and Wikipedia details say that, there are about 300 different breeds of horses are there with each of those developed for different purposes.

Further coloring of face part with addition of few more colors for patch like display of colors most of the horses possess.

Normal life expectancy of horses seems to be between 25 to 30 years, but there are exceptions it seems as per Wikipedia with a horse living as old as 62 years!!

And we have reached the final one as in below. With shading continued and other things added to make it look like real horse. Do you feel that?

Horses are not only used for pulling carts, but also in many advanced sports including dressage in Olympics and also for agricultural and Police work related tasks.
