The Secret of Drawing Horses with Kim McElroy

[Thenecromancer626]

This tells my whole school exp. up until present day...

[daveo3000]

It's the same as me but with wolves, dogs and cats ... I would pretend to be one and be made fun of. But whenever I drew them, people said 'that's nice', or 'that's really good'. I wish I could draw horses. I love this video, thank you for uploading^^

[MARScatalano]

the start of this video sounds like how i used to be until people said i was to old to want to be an animal ....

@HelpDogTrustAndRSPCA how can you say something like that! YOU seem pretty pathetic to stoop to this level simple rudeness, if its not the video you wanted then why'd you watch it? who do you think you are??? don't insalt people like that for for no good reason, it makes you sound like a bully x(

dear artist, your voice really dragged me in honestly, never stop speaking like that, its awesome. i love this video XD

[horsewsm]

its scary how much truth was in those words...and it doesnt matter that im a senior in high school, sometimes, when im feeling sad or betten down, i still gallop on my hands and knees, and whinny, and it makes me feel strong again. Everyone thinks im weird, but thats okay, because i have seen the spirit of horses.

[blue1kitty1cat1]

@horsewsm i seriously feel you, i know how you feel, and thats the spirit :)

[GJane27]

ok?????????



[M1ra6e92]

To the artist,

You have a lovely voice, I enjoyed listening to every word. Thank-you for sharing this gift of beauty.

[loserface10987]

this really toucheed my heart, the girl she was talking about is exactly like me when i was younger, i would gallop around on my hands an knees and whinny and and i felt so strong when i was pretending to be one. my class mates thought i was weird and i drew them all the time, and now i always draw horses.

[blue1kitty1cat1]

[AlwaysHorses01]

The Only Things I Can draw Is Dragons Just Out of Nothing. When I Was Little I use to pretend To Be one. Im Like Almost Crying ATm.

[dragonflyinhaven]

i love this! but isnt the next best thing to being a horse, riding one?

[JharMarAye]

beautiful!!

[Shining0Crow]

Wow Thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one who thinks like that in the world , I always think that I Capture Souls in my paper when I draw them

and I believed that Drawing is like magic , and it ain't a normal hobby

but the only Difference between me an you is that my fairy friend is a wolf not a horse ^^

we are copies ^^

I think I'm gonna cry ^_^ but i'll hold it , i was touched by your story

[O0lotta0O]

this sounds familiar o-o;;

kids used to laugh at me while I was pretending, but they liked the drawings

sadly I never dreamt of purple clouds and winged horses :'D

[groveroscar911]

[MimiTheHamster]

[leirzaarravan]

[7466309change]

[6ignification]

[1ILUVANIMALS]

Woahh!! this is amazing honestly wish i could do this :)

[lolalovesbillkaulitz]

i loved this.

[jantheempress]

beautiful drawings :)

[NiklasBernstein]

What a gay story...

[laminae]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks for uploading. It has inspired me to get back to my pastels. By the way, the only thing I can really draw free-hand is horses. Nothing else ever turns out right.

[crazyhorselover12]

@laminae same here i can only draw horses freehand but they're really bad that's why i need help!! but yes every thing i draw is terrible other than a horse. can you help wth draawing horses?! please!

[laminae]

@crazyhorselover12 I'm sure I couldn't help you. I draw out of my head. I can't use any picture. I'll keep on and on until it's perfect. I've been looking at pictures of horses for 30 years, so I know when it's wrong when I have it on paper. Pastern too big, too little, too much or not enough angle. Every tiny detail drives me crazy.

I love it though.

[threemustangs]

I loved it!!!!! Beautiful story and art! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!

[whitestarline08]

It's hard because it's hard to capture their spirits on paper ♥ The fire in their eyes, their hearts, their beauty.....

[ILuvHollBoxer]

I'm only 11 and I draw horses, the girl in the story sounds alot like me. Thanks for posting this!

[olik52]

good i think yes!!!

[amberntucker]

I think the pictures and the story is very beautiful. The story describes the innocense of a child. It reminds me of me when I was young. This story almost made me cry because of my childhood past, so many bad and good memories popped up.

[MentalHorseFreak]

Wow, that is sooo like me... i draw very good horses for my age. i love this story because i have a very big connection to it :)

[BreyerLover4]

this explains me. like... compleatly....

[hydrox24]

Wow, A fantastic story that is really emotional, even for me and I am not an avid horse lover, in fact, this video was so lovely with such beautiful sketches and paintings that I am going to share it with a friend who is truly in love with horse

I also love how this story illustrates that art is not all about technique but about conveying the images and movement in your head in an emotional way.

Bravo.

[Hoppibenni0909]

is that true

[Treepelt]

This describes me :)

[DaisyPanda123]

wow that was a beaitiful story

you should write a book and if you did...i would buy it , DEFFENTLY :)

because that was lovely to listen too

thanx for sharing this video <3

[LOVTOANIME1]

i like your voice

[equinluver11]

omg =D it sounds just like me when i was little! I used to make horse noises and gallop around and I draw horses! lolz i was so weird and i wish i was a horse to =/

[catfreek111]

0:27 pic looks kinda funny

[RorschachandNiteOwl]

i cant draw horse very well but i still like to and there was one horse that lived in the hights in billings montana i didnt no her name so i called her grace the queen of all horses and beauty beacause she was as beautiful as the green meadows in the summer time , more worthy of being a queen than anybody else or anything else and she was more sweet and graceful than the best show horse in the world a show horse

[spiritlover54]

wow! i could see eveything and i was drawing with my eyes closed and it looks exactly like the horse at 3:38......

[luomas2]

Just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MelonenHp]

you know... I think I have the spirit too. I closed my eyes too, and hear what I felt? "kataka-kataka"...and believe me, plz. I am not weird now

[cassiemyclyde]

WOW thats really amazing i loove it ...speechless.

[Thefirstmusicfan]

This is so cool!

[swamivicky]

i'm 63 now, but when i was 8-12 i had an imaginary friend that was a horse named midnight.  sometimes i was the horse. i also drew lots of horses. thank you for doing your story.

[1234pony]

I now know my story will have a happy ending,

I'm always teased for drawing horses,

It made me feel like an out cast and alone...

I don't draw horses I draw the emotion and spirit behind it.

A horse is beautiful but it's the soul behind it that only people who love them for what's inside can see.

[Rtatham1271]

This is a beautiful story, truly inspiring, and emotional. Thank you for sharing it.

[101020sarah]

I still wish i was a horse they are amazing how they are

your video was amazing and very touching you would make a wonderful horse

you draw horses the way i do to

wow i never knew i wasnt the only one because people would make fun of me because i acted like a horse sometimes and drew them all the time and was obsessed with them but now i know im not the only one who wants to be a horse

your a roll modle

[101020sarah]

i have wanted to be a horse so many times im 12 and my name is megan and i draw horses all the time i love it

but yours are amazing

[Moosterification]

I Draw Horses TONS! I Love Them. But I Could Never Draw Them As Well As That.

[SocketSteckdose]

beutiful story!

[ArabianMustang]

beuatiful story the beginging sounded alot like me beuatiful drawings by the way did you make them?

[taylorluvshorses16]

wow, this was beautiful!

[KEMPYART95]

omg i nearlyt wanted to cry that is beautiful...!

[spottedhorse567]

wow i love the story and the art work also, i draw horses in class alot to pass the time and to get away for a second from it all

[Urania243]

I wish this story was true for all horse lovers alike, and artists who just cant seem to catch the magic of the real thing.

But this story seems to tell mine, it comes of the heart of a true horse lover...and artist.... now if only my dream can come true...

[Horthaful]

this is so beautiful and explans exactly how i feel, although i still can't seem to master the beauty of a horse, i don't think anyone ever could, i try and i grow as i watch them, as i watch them dance around the ring, holding their heads high and their spirits higher, our eyes meet, and we become one...

[DarkeKyra]

I feel just like her...I draw horses...I just love horses...But I can't see them a lot...I can't afford a horse or horse riding class...

[Misshail1]

Beautiful!

[livelovehorses248]

Oh my gosh! I love this video! all the pictures are really well done and send a heart warming message. Well done! Five stars! :)

[rainyrose23]

I love this! It reminded me a lot of myself.

[tagoato]

that´s really amazing

[flenithganthry]

That is so beautiful. my husband told me when he was a little boy (4) a white horse walked up to him and looked straight at him for some time...he remembered this till he died in 2007 as being something so special - No one else saw the white horse. Thanks for this...The white horse as messenger -

[Annewala]

Wow a "beautiful" tale !! ;D Exellent!!! :D:D

[yuki77757]

That was amazing!!! actually I guess I had the exact same expeiriance as the girl.

[eqineartist]

Wonderful, inspirational video, Kim! It reminds me of myself as a girl when my drawings were much more lively and free. I need to get that back, and I'll look into ordering your video next month.

[8lappa8]

Reaally touching video for all of us that draws, and loves horses, really.

I loved it.

Just beautiful.

[KarenNWHS]

A magical message that touches my heart. I've had the yearning inside since a little girl to draw but never take the time. This is truly inspiration to release the images inside me. Thank you for opening the door for me. Your horses are magical, mystical and truly inspiring. Can't wait to see the video!

[rdhawke]

The drawing @ the 5:56 time mark is on a greeting card. I bought one because it reminds me of my beautiful Arab gelding. I keep it on my dresser, so I see it daily. I love it.

Thanks for this fabulous video.

[higuoy]

We are all given gifts in this world, and you have unwrapped yours with great care. :~)

[tkeehr]

Excellent...Can't wait for the video in December :)
