| Megan's Drawing's |
| Welcome! This page is dedicated to all my current drawings. I began drawing when I was five after, believe it or not, getting an interest in Killer Whales. I used to illustrate little stories I made and pretend the whales I drew were mine. Then shortly after, I got the horrible disease called “horse crazy” (it started after mom told me I couldn’t save up for a killer whale and swimming pool) and I was soon drawing pictures of ponies and stallions nonstop. Since I’ve never been able to own one, drawing my dream horse helped fill that empty hole. I realized that the more detailed my pictures were, the more real my horses became. Drawing made me a perfectionist. I strove for the best, pouring over pages of horse anatomy and studying their behavoir. I perfected pensil, then I went on to charcoal (the picture above is charcoal), and now I'm beginning painting. I've never had an art lesson, all my abilities are learned simply by studying. If mom tried getting me a program on how to draw, I could never do it because I always found myself looking at all the flaws in the artists drawings (I have a bad habit of that. When I visited Kentucky Horse Park's art museum, I saw a few pieces I liked, but I found myself always saying something like, "Oh, this ones head is too small for it's body," and, "If that horse was real, he'd never be able to servive with those legs.") So that's how I came to draw. Hope everyone enjoys them, and if anyone would like to give my mom comments on any of the pictures, PLEASE DO. Megan Reid |
| Here are three of my best and most current horse drawings. I've noticed people have singled them out as their favorite, so they're rather fan favorites. The one on the top left is the oldest in this section; he's a Saddlebred on a cliff overlooking the sea. The one to the top right is my most current, and he's also a Saddlebred. I love his black coat and beautiful legs. On the right is a Warmblood, I'm not sure what breed, doing Dressage. This is my first drawing at such an odd angle. It was actually quite difficult to master. But it turned out very nicely. |
| Here's some of my other misc pictures. The top left is my most current portrait. I just began working on people a year ago, and I think I'm doing pretty well. I still don't think I've mastered it yet--but at least I'm trying. The top right is an Andalusian doing what's called a Spanish Walk. My mom only gave me a 95 percent on it though because she said I cut of the instructors head, lol! Last, the picture to the right, is another warmblood doing Dressage. I really like how I got the intructors leg and hands positions right. It makes it look real. |
