Racehorse pencil sketch

Been a while since I made a graphite sketch. I was taking a break from the plough horse painting and it struck me that I've made several larger acrylic paintings of horses, and one ink sketch during the challenge, but I've never done one in pencil. So I got my cheap small sketchbook, and an ordinary HB pencil and I made this sketch :-

One Sketch 329) Featured artist Alphonse Mucha

Today's prompt in Sketching Every Day was featured artist Alphonse Mucha. He's pretty well known, but a brief potted biog is that he was a Czech artist who lived and worked in Paris during the Art Nouveau period leading up to the First World War. He was particularly known for his lavish posters and illustrations. I did toy with trying to reproduce one, but then I found the original of this pencil sketch, and decided tis would be doable within a reasonable period of time, and also would give me a chance to keep my hand in with an ordinary graphite pencil.
