Purple against white, and the purple is operating at two pressures that the eye separates almost immediately. The upper portion - a long, tapered snout resolving into a compact muzzle with a curled lower lip - was drawn with a slower, more deliberate hand; the line thickens at the nostril curl and holds its width through the jaw. From that same convergence point at the top, a mane or neck ridge zigzags rightward in short, angular strokes, each segment slightly heavier than the last, as though confidence increased mid-sequence. Below, two near-vertical strokes descend from the body mass toward the lower edge, one looping back on itself to suggest a fetlock, the other dropping clean and straight with no terminating flourish - a contrast that feels less like indecision than like two separate speeds of hand within a single intention.
