Art Commission - Horse Sketch (April)


Here is a pencil sketch I've just completed of a horse (called April). The sketch was done on A3 cartridge paper (A3 spiral bound sketch pad available WH Smith). I used a Derwent Graphic Designer pencil set (also from WH Smith) which had the pencil range I needed (4H - 3H -2H - H - F - 2B to 6B) I found that for this sketch I used mainly 4H, 2H, F, HB, 2B and 4B. I then scanned the finished sketch into Photoshop and played around with the tone levels and printed the final image on A4 size 300 gsm cotton canvas. I've found out that scanning the original sketch and printing it out onto A4 canvas really enhances the pencil work, in fact it looks better than the original A3 sketch.
