This drawing was done as part of an Internet competition under the subject “the four elements”. Honestly, I think I was just looking for an excuse to paint colorful horses.

This horse was part of a four painting series that was the final exercise in “2d techniques and materials” in “Minshar”. It was obvious that I’d choose a horse to be one of the four characters. I decided to make a dapple because that’s a color I never painted before; it was a nice experiment. During the making of this piece, I made the final decision to buy my own horse – so in some ways it will always remind me of that moment.

This was one of my first “horses in action” drawings. I did it on one Passover day, when I had the urge to “draw something, no matter what”. I looked at a picture that was cut in the bottom and back, and sadly I did make terrible mistakes there… However, I still like it a lot.

The original sketch was of the horse by himself, if I remember correctly. My husband suggested that I “put some story into it”, and this is the result. I like it very much, mistakes and all.

I made this horse’s head sketch to exemplify the technique of ball pen drawing to someone that didn’t believe how flexible it can be. Ball pens are not my favorite – they tend to leave blobs of ink in the most annoying places – but they do have great range of line strengths that let you play with the shade softly.

This is a scratchboard work I did in “Minshar” art college. The technique was very cool, though the noise of an entire class scratching made me crazy. I made two pieces and enjoyed it a lot. This was the second work in this technique I did.

One of a few sketches done during a long weekend in the base, where I got to know an amazing friend, read a lot, draw a little and yes, naturally, perform my oh-so-boring duty. Isn’t he a little dish?

This horse was a great way to pass my last day at work before the army. It was a quiet Friday shift, I was alone and finished all the paperwork, and although I felt a little guilty, I liked the result a lot. It was drawn using a regular HB office pencil on dot-matrix printer paper (yes, the one with the holes on the side).

A man! This is one of four sketches I made one afternoon, determined to create a manly man. He’s not the only good one, by the way. Since the point was to work on a man, I didn’t get to details on the fence or horses.

Another typical female centaur sketch that I love oh-so-much. It’s sort of a sketch that says : “ahh… Life is good”.
