Unicorn Sketch on Canvas...

Here is my sketch for a unicorn.  As it is a magical being, I've made the eye and mane bigger than my inspiration photograph by Shawn Parker.  It is on canvas and my next step with it will be to paint the background.  Well, technically I paint the sides of the canvas first, but that doesn't really count...  I have darkened the sketch a little bit in photoshop to hopefully make it easier to see.  This is a small 5"x7" piece, so I was able to scan it in.  The camera and the scanner both have virtues, but for smaller pieces, I usually prefer to scan them if there isn't any paint or if the paint is completely dry...

Sketches of Three Horses Eyes...

Here are sketches of three horses eyes.  I took a good look at my unicorn sketch and decided that the problem I was having with it was that the eye I sketched was too non specific, so I decided to gather more reference images of horses or more specifically horses eyes.  I'm going to take these into photoshop and see which works the best, I'm leaning towards the second one right now...
