Andy Field’s daily horse drawings turn artistic mishaps into an online hit
Original report:
Comedian Andy Field began drawing horses during his Edinburgh fringe run despite having little confidence in his artistic skills. Now nearing 80 daily instalments, his playful social-media series has attracted millions of views and encouraged some viewers to draw themselves.
British comedian Andy Field is approaching the 80th instalment of a daily horse-drawing project that began during his Edinburgh fringe run. Posting on TikTok and Instagram, the 34-year-old has favoured comic invention over formal exercises, producing horses that box, skateboard and play guitar. The Guardian reports that his first drawing video received more than a million views; Field estimates the third attracted more than two million.
Field plans to finish at 100 drawings, a target inspired by hearing the band Geese perform 100 Horses at a festival. He has also launched merchandise featuring the illustrations. Although viewers regularly offer technical advice, he says enjoyment and accepting mistakes matter more to him than following instructions.
The project’s appeal extends beyond the drawings: Field says some viewers have started making their own horses, while parents describe watching with children as an example of creating without fearing mistakes. That family audience does not make every instalment child-friendly, however; the series also includes explicitly sexual imagery.
