Horse Illustration

Welcome to my world of horse illustrations at Monkey Feet Illustration, where each stroke of the brush and line of the pen comes from my profound admiration for these noble creatures.

Drawing upon my years of experience and extensive research into equine anatomy, behaviour, and the myriad ways they have been represented in art, I strive to capture the soul of the horse in each piece I create.

Whether for an art print or a feature in a picture book, each illustration is a labour of love and a reflection of my personal artistic journey.

Traditional Illustration of a Horse

In my traditional horse illustrations, I delve into the rich textures and fluid motion of horses. Using watercolours and oils, I layer colours and brushstrokes to build depth and realism.

Each piece is a homage to the classic art styles that have inspired me, focusing on the muscle dynamics and gentle eyes that convey the spirit of the horse.

Digital Illustration of a Horse

My digital illustrations of horses are where my creativity meets modern technology.

Here, I explore bold colours and sharp lines, using software like Adobe Photoshop to bring out the vibrant energy of horses in motion.

This technique allows me to experiment with surreal backgrounds and dynamic poses that celebrate the horse’s majestic form.

Vector illustrations in my portfolio showcase the sleek, clean lines that define modern graphic design.

These illustrations are all about precision and versatility, perfect for commercial projects where scalability is essential.

My vectors simplify the form of the horse without losing the essence of its grace and power.

Cute Illustration of a Horse

When I create cute horse illustrations, I focus on bringing out the playful and tender sides of horses.

These are characterized by exaggerated features—large eyes, fluffy manes, and soft, rounded bodies.

These illustrations often find their home in children’s books or as delightful art prints for nurseries.

Line Art and Minimalist Illustrations of a Horse

My line art and minimalist horse illustrations reflect my appreciation for the power of simplicity.

With just a few strokes, I capture the elegance and fluidity of the horse’s form.

This style emphasizes the contours and subtle movements of the horse, ideal for elegant, understated art prints.

My realistic horse illustrations are grounded in my deep understanding and observation of horses.

These works are detailed and lifelike, capturing every hair and gleam in the eye.

They demand a slow, methodical approach, ensuring that the final product not only looks like a horse but also feels like one.

Creating characters for stories involves a deep dive into the imagined world these horses inhabit.
