Step 8 I use a soft 4B pencil to push the darkest areas, also using the 2B and HB to blend the dark shadows into the lighter areas. A horse’s coat is usually very short and appears smooth from a distance, so I don’t want too much detail on the horse’s body. But I don’t want the centaur to look as if he was carved from stone, so I allow the hatching and crosshatching to imply the texture of the coat. I want the hooves to look shiny, so I use the HB to blend the dark hooves until they look smooth; then I lift out some vertical highlights with a kneaded eraser. I also use the eraser to lift out some of the tone on the fetlocks (the leg area above the hooves), defining the edges of these light areas with the HB. With the 4B, I add darks to the hair and tail, lifting out highlights with the kneaded eraser. Then I add some darker shadows to the hind legs with short, smooth strokes. After darkening the lyre, my centaur is complete.
