early morning horse fix

okay it's not even that early bc i ran out to get coffee but it's still the first thing im doing!

1+2 - actual traditional doodles, for once. I needed a screen break last night and took my sketchbook with me ^^
edit: actually I wanted to mention this. I've been feeling down about my work as time passes, especially this week, I've felt my confidence decrease, and when I drew traditionally it became really apparent. The headshot of Tulio, top of image 1, is the first thing I drew, and while it looks nice, the scratchy pencil strokes made it very clear to me that my line confidence was way down. I drew a couple of bodies (not pictured, not very interesting) and found myself resorting to the same scratchy, small strokes. I tried to force myself off of it, and quickly found myself sort of recollecting myself, hence switching to pen by the second page. Still some scratchy areas, but I felt like it was rewiring my brain... I need to remember this for future instances of shakiness.

3 - I know I uploaded one of these already but I like how they look together! I drew him speeping.
