I can't believe I didn't post this earlier!

Ok, ok, sometimes I'm a little scatterbrained. 
But really, how did I forget this one???



Two weeks ago, I helped out an artist friend with an Equine Illustration class she's teaching this semester. (I just spelled 5 words wrong in that sentence!!! Thank goodness for spell check)

I took a dozen assorted Traditional models from my collection to the class and they got to draw them.  My live show string stayed at home of course, all these horses have a few blemishes. 

My roommate and friend, Natalie drawing "TizNow Sassy", my Ruffian.



Here's my friend Nancy teaching some students

It was a bunch of fun! I was invited to return in April with some more ponies on the day they get to attempt  sculpting. I plan on bringing some of the more basic molds for that day :o)

I'm a fairly decent artist as far as drawing horses is concerned, but I don't like drawing from models, I can never get them looking "just right" and it always bugs me!

Has anyone else ever tried drawing from a Breyer model?
