Amanda Drage is an equine and nature artist who works in a huge variety of mediums- from pencils and paints, to sculptures and digital methods.

 I really respect Amanda because it seems she can apply her talent to all media. I also like the way her digital work has a painterly feel to it and doesn't actually look 'digital'.

Her work is usually quite realistic however she almost always uses photo references. Although her technical ability is great sometimes I would like to see a little more movement in the drawings, but there's always plenty of character in her pieces which is something I'd like to incorporate into my own work.
