Sketching with Ink from Imagination - Proko
video description
I am unfamiliar with Marshall Vandruff
I have sketched horses in a fashion similar to this for over 50 years, having grown up with the Elaine Mitchell Silver Brumby series of books which were illustrated by Anette MacArthur Onslow. Her delightful pen and ink illustrations that evoked such a wonderful sense of playfulness, movement and mystery.
Marshall went further than I would and personally, I prefer the initial sketch to the finished drawing. To me (not everyone) it lost some of its spontaneity each time he traced it, and became more of a cartoon. Perhaps that is what he were aiming for?
Anyway, I am grateful to have found this and thankful you posted it.

There's a moment when putting down a special line, where you look at the line and it just brings everything around it to life. Even if it's something sketchy or doodly, when you put that line down and suddenly sparks pop and fly in your brain as if that line completed a circuit and you feel transcendent. Suddenly, if you ever had to make a line like that again you know you'll be able to do it with confidence next time and the time after that. The sparks don't stop, nor are they ever blinding.

You described everything that goes through my mind whenever I draw human figures from imagination. Only I feel much more lost than you do. But now that I know that a master experiences the same thing, I don't feel so lost anymore. Thanks Marshall!

I really like the idea of -this will be garbage anyway, so I will-. It is a great pressure reliever.
I came here to have some notions about horse drawing and Im leaveing with this beautiful lesson for all my drawings.
Thank you.
