How To Draw… A Horse's Head By Monika Jasnauskaite

Monika Jasnauskaite is a traditional artist from Lithuania. She usually works with mechanical and colored pencils. Here she used a pencil to draw a horse's head starting from simple lines and shapes to working on different shades/tones by using cross-hatching. We are hoping that she can provide us with some step-by-step artwork using colored pencils in the near future. You can find Monika's finished artwork on her deviantART page and/or facebook page.
