Comedian's 100-Day Horse Drawing Challenge Goes Viral
4 Nov
Summary
- A comedian's daily horse drawing project gained millions of views online.
- The series features creative and often humorous horse depictions.
- Viewers praised the project for encouraging joy in art and embracing mistakes.
Comedian Andy Field's unexpected decision to draw a horse every day has captivated millions online. Initially lacking drawing skills, Field began the project during his Edinburgh Fringe run. His first naive horse drawing on day one quickly garnered significant attention on TikTok and Instagram, with millions tuning in by day three.
The series, now approaching day 80, showcases a wide array of imaginative horses, from a boxing Ali-style equine to a skateboarding horse and one playing a guitar solo. Field also humorously documented an accidental phallic-shaped horse drawing on day 48, humorously naming it 'Gentle Brian'.
Field emphasizes that his project is a celebration of drawing for enjoyment and exploring a "daft idea." While he has taken inspiration from artists like George Stubbs, he prioritizes personal joy, such as drawing horses in sunglasses or those infused with his kitten's spirit.
The "Drawing a Horse Every Day Until I'm Really Good at Drawing Horses" initiative has inspired viewers to create their own art and has been praised for promoting a positive attitude towards making mistakes and enjoying the artistic process. Field plans a grand finale for day 100, promising an elaborate conclusion to his celebrated series.
