Oh, this is lovely! What brush(es) did you use?

[mific]

Thanks! It's a basic Procreate brush - chalk, in Calligraphy. I find it's the one most like soft pencil or pastel.

This is so lovely! The line width variation gives it such expressiveness, and the dust really makes the motion look dynamic!

Being me, I'm very impressed with the foreshortening. I tend to draw horses from the side because I have trouble conveying their full bodies from the front like this.

So pretty!

That's lovely! The kicking up dirt does show the movement, adding to the stance and the way the mane is flowing :)
