Horse and Jockey - practice sketch

This was a practice sketch that I made back in 2005 when I first started trying to get back into art.

My inspiration was a really good book that managed to convince me that I could draw! Personally, I think that this is the one book that every aspiring artist should read, before anything else...

The book is called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and, after 15 years, I would still highly recommend it.
