Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate rock textures and detailing the horses' tack and rider clothing. Fine-tip markers can be used for crisp outlines and small details. For broader areas of the canyon, soft pastels or watercolors can create smooth, expansive washes and blends, adding a painterly quality.
Start with large areas of the canyon walls using light, even pressure. Use a simple color scheme (3-4 colors) for the rock and focus on defining the main shapes of the horses and riders. Work from the center outward to avoid smudging. Take breaks to prevent hand fatigue and allow your eyes to rest.
Employ cross-hatching, stippling, and scumbling to emphasize the varied textures of the canyon rock, layering 3-5 shades. Use layered blending with multiple shades to create dramatic depth and shadow effects on the walls and horse musculature. Add subtle highlights to the riders' gear and horse tack for realism, considering a single light source. Experiment with atmospheric perspective for distant canyon elements.

Two individuals on horseback stand centered in a deep, narrow slot canyon. The towering canyon walls rise steeply on either side, exhibiting varied rock textures, striations, and layered formations. One rider, positioned slightly to the left, is mounted on a horse, wearing a helmet, a vest over a long-sleeved top, and riding pants. The horse has a bridle, saddle, saddle pad, and leg wraps. The second rider, to the right, is similarly attired, seated on a second horse with detailed tack. The ground beneath the horses is uneven and dusty, and a sliver of sky is visible at the very top, between the immense rock formations.
