Making Progress on the Horse Omikuji

Taking a break from Fire Horse sketches, I worked on the illustrations for my horse omikuji today—and it’s starting to come together!

Making Progress on the Horse Omikuji
Wings are so hard to draw!

Today, I took a break from my Fire Horse sketches and switched things up by working on some illustrations for the horse omikuji. I tried to draw each one to match its funny fortune—and I think it’s turning out pretty great!

The flehmen response turned out weirdly realistic!

There’s a unicorn joyfully throwing confetti, a zebra in a striped shirt, a donkey stubbornly refusing to move, a pegasus flaunting its fabulous wings, a horse desperately chasing a dangling carrot, a horse making a flehmen response in discomfort, and finally, a meditative horse with its ears turned 180 degrees backward, blocking everything out in a zen-like state.

It feels like it’s all coming together nicely!
