Deaf Spirit, horse drawing

I checked out a photography and documentary book from the library a long while back. The photo of this mustang caught my attention and I read the caption next to it, and this time it grabbed at my heartstrings. The photographer who was doing the documentary on a band of mustangs, came across this lone stallion. It was unusual that the stud allowed him to get so close. He knew something was up and later after making a bunch of noise, found the horse to be deaf. I was so inspired by this I just had to draw the mustang. It's one of my favorites in my collection.
