I just finished a commissioned for a realistic graphite drawing. It made me feel nervous and excited at the same time. I haven't done this type of work in years - the drawings I do now are much more abstract, stylized, and based off colour and shapes. But I was feeling up to the challenge...
This type of drawing takes a lot of patience and looking. Looking and looking... and understanding how pencils work. I found an online tutorial on how to draw hair - the mane was the hardest part. There is so much more to learn about pencils! So much that you can do with them.

I took a long time to choose the picture I drew from - I really liked this perspective. It makes you wonder what the horse is thinking...

Nice! Bravo for finding the guts to go back to Graphite. I miss it very much, but am a bit nervous too. I've been exploring other media for a while... :) And I agree, that IS a really nice perspective.
