It sure helps when some of the kids from the farm keep him interested with a few handfuls of grain. This is Lucky. He shares the stall with Billy, who you met last summer.
Nicely done, as always. What did you use for it? Marker and pencil? How long did it take to do?
I remember the post about Joy the Christmas donkey and how you had to draw her prancing pose from memory and use her anatomy as reference (http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2010/01/joy-in-farmyard.html). In this case, it looks like the helping hands kept Lucky pretty cooperative. Did you have to fudge anything to get the sketch?
