POTD Tip Toes

Pencil and biro drawing of a Dartmoor horse. Biro doesn't seem to be used all that much in art, at least as far as I know, but I really like the marks and lines the pen can provide. One of my favourite techniques is to use pencil and pencil dust / smudging to define the loose shapes and then use the biro to add some fine detail, but with this sketch I decided to use harder lines in both pencil and biro to describe the form, hopefully giving the image a sense of movement and a feeling of being 'captured quickly'.
