 William Henry "Bill" Mauldin (October 29, 1921 – January 22, 2003) was a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist from the United States. He was most famous for his World War II cartoons depicting American soldiers, as represented by the archetypal characters "Willie and Joe", two weary and bedraggled infantry troopers who stoically endure the difficulties and dangers of duty in the field. These cartoons were broadly published and distributed in the American army abroad and in the United States.

Mead Schaeffer

 

 

Head Tide - 1932 Good Housekeeping

scanned from the Truth in the Bright Light of Day blog

Mead Schaeffer lived next door to Norman Rockwell and was a great illustrator in his own right. Mead and his family members posed for a number of Rockwell’s illustrations.

  In the picture below Mead posed for the tattoo artist. He claimed that Rockwell made his “behind” bigger than it actually was. Norman did not think so.

Horse Anatomy

                                                                                                          

                                                                                                              

Drawing defines form. However sometimes it is hard to see this form. Different colors and surfaces reflect light in different ways.

When taking pictures of horses it is best to do so on a hazy day to break up the sun’s rays, because the sheen on a horse’s coat caused by the reflected light from the sun inhibits the ability to discern form. I would recommend a nice medium value brown or grey horse for anatomical study. A white one will reflect too much light and a black one will not reflect enough for optimal viewing.

When you have your photo, try placing an anatomical horse diagram next to it for comparison. While drawing, try to locate anatomical landmarks of the surface anatomy on your photo from the diagram
