*Ahem* 
Anyway, I come bearing gifts!
A Shire horse, one of my favorite heavy-horses. I have no beef with this picture, so it gets the STAMP of approval :D

You know that STAMP I mentioned above? Yeah, this one does not deserve it. (This was practice using a brush-pen, btw)

This horse is cute, but has terrible conformation. Still up there in my favorites, though.

Axl! Drew this in class and taped the looseleaf into my sketchbook. Very unrefined, but hey.

Julius Caesar. The proportions are off*, but seeing as this was for a Latin project, I don't really care. So there p:

I should draw cats more. They are probably the most difficult animal for me to draw, and I spend all of my free time with them :/

I really like the background (done with a sponge, no less). Ignore the horse, and the picture is quite pleasant.

See those cool yellow circles? I did that by using the stopper from my yellow India ink bottle to place a whack of ink dots on the page. When they dried around the edges, I took a sponge and swept the color across the page. Pretty cool, huh?

 
Blue horse, because being realistic all the time was getting boring...
*I am going to share some pro-tips for drawing faces with y'all.
1st: A face is 3 foreheads long. If you want to trip someone up, mess with those proportions a bit.
2nd: Human ears generally go from the eyebrow line down to the lip line.
3rd: There is one "eye space" between your eyes.
4th: When drawing teeth in a smile, do not outline each individual tooth (unless you are going for the gap-toothed look).
Simply draw the bottom of the teeth and the top along the gums, and your eyes will do the rest.
