Portrait in pen and ink of an Arabian thoroughbred stallion.
An Arabian horse is often a smaller horse, with large expressive eyes and nose and a small dip in the nose line. Intelligent, praised for its toughness and speed.
For showing these horses, the mane is often shaved a little and the eyes and nose are made more expressive by rubbing them with a little oil.
The hooves are also often blackened to put more emphasis on the gaits (walk, trot and canter).
In a classic and realistic way drawn with pen and ink, I emphasize the muscles, the sinew of the legs and body, the expression of the head.
The horse looks simultaneously happy, defiant, proud and playful.
