I was super excited about this week’s theme for Illustration Friday. I’m a huge fan of mythology, so immediately my mind started buzzing with ideas. Then as my mind gazed out in the space, I saw Pegasus, and knew that was it.
When I was a little girl, I loved all things horses. I loved unicorns, Pegasus, ponies, I loved all things related to horses. My love of horses was the thing that set me to drawing. I’d get in trouble at school for drawing horses when I wasn’t paying attention to social studies, I pretended I was a horse in the playground, and I had this amazing book of horse photos and paintings that I would stare at for ages…
This week, I felt a re-connection with my younger self. It’s exciting when you get lost in a drawing, and can feel a part of your 11 year old self saying “No, no, the leg doesn’t go there, it goes THERE!” I think she’d be happy to know this is my living now 
Nice one, looks like we had the same idea
Thanks, it’s great to see you here!! I’m surprised we haven’t seen more of Pegasus on IF, but the week is still early yet
Lovely horse with such a sensitive face! I was also a girl who loved horses. And also didn’t outgrow it.
Hi Cindy! I’m glad you visited and liked this! It’s always nice to meet another horse lover!
Awesome sketch!
I was also thinking of submitting Pegasus but have no idea how to draw a horse hahaha!
Marie, drawing horses is fun! when I get a little time I’ll post how I learned to draw’em
