Horse Studies


I'm starting a t-shirt design that will only be printed in one color. Part of the design involves a horse so I started doing some studies to help get a style and some sense of the proportions I want. Here are some early attempts. I've never liked my horse drawings so I really wanted to get one I felt was unique but still based from the real thing. I looked at photos on "google images" to get some understanding of what a horse looks like. I don't want it to look realistic but I also don't want it to look like my distortions were random chances which so many designs now look like to me. I'll post more attempts as I study more. Neigh.

  1. hahahha, very nice. The first one looks like a field of stars, very nice and soft lines to look at, as always, from Mr. Ben.

  2. i dig 'em all but i think I'd like the more graphic on on the top right for a t-shirt. The giraffe one looks great too but the head and the body look like separate designs. Can't wait to see more!
