Valentine's Day Gift - Graphite Horse Portrait

This is a portrait of a horse that I have just started as a Valentine's Day Gift. It has been awhile since I have done a portrait of an animal as have been doing so many people lately...I may have to relearn a few things! I transfered the original sketch to the paper and then darkened all of the lines with an F grade pencil. I then started to block in the dark areas around the eye with a 2B pencil. My scanner is not large enough to capture the body as this one is 11x14.
