| Draw a Realistic Horse in Easy Steps | |
Step 1 - A Basic Frame
First draw a square, as big as you want the back of the horse to be. Make it a little wider for a short-legged pony, taller for a leggy thoroughbred.
Draw two ovals as shown, a horizontal one for the barrel of the chest, and a sloping oval for the hindquarters.
Step 2 - The Key Points
Draw a triangle for the neck, a circle for the horse's cheek and a square for the muzzle.
Draw two straight lines, for the forelegs, two bent ones for the back legs, with balls at the joints as shown. Draw short sloping lines for the horse's fetlocks (ankles) and triangles for the hooves.
Step 3 - Filling Out
Add lines to fill out the legs, with a big inverted triangle for the upper part of the back leg, all the rest pretty straight.
Join the square at the nose to the cheek-circle to form the horse's head. Add the ear(s).
Draw a curvy line joining the cheek to the neck, making the bottom of the neck-triangle a little fatter too, and square off the chest at the top of the foreleg. Draw a curved, arching crest over the neck.
Join the chest and hindquarters on top and underneath with lines that curve in slightly.
