Colored pencils are excellent for detailed work on the rider's attire and saddle blanket patterns, allowing for precise layering. Markers can provide smooth coverage for the horse's body and large areas of the dust. For blending the dust, soft pastels or blending stumps with colored pencils would work well.
Start with broad strokes on the horse's body and the dust cloud. Use lighter pressure for initial layers and gradually build up intensity. Keep the saddle blanket patterns simple with contrasting shades. Focus on staying within the lines of the main shapes.
Utilize multiple shades to create depth and texture on the horse's musculature and the intricate dust cloud. Experiment with cross-hatching or stippling for the chaps and ground. Employ shadow and highlight techniques to give the horse and rider a three-dimensional effect, especially on the saddle and hat.
