Oil Drawing Pastel Watercolor Cartooning Special Subjects Acrylic HORSES From the earliest cave drawings to the modern masters, artists have long been inspired by the horse as a subject. Horses have an elegance and spirit that we’re naturally attracted to and intrigued by. With their fluid lines, powerful muscles, and graceful motions, it’s no wonder that these extraordinary creatures have frequently been celebrated by artists throughout the ages. And now you can learn to draw horses too, even if you’ve never picked up a drawing pencil. In this book, you’ll find the basics of horse anatomy and correct proportion, as well as special tips for drawing facial features, ears, hooves, and manes. You’ll also learn how to render these beautiful and expressive animals in exciting action poses—racing, jumping, and galloping. Just follow the simple steps in this book, and soon you’ll develop your own style for drawing these magnificent animals. Eyes & Muzzles Facial features, such as eyes and muzzles, are a good place to start learning to draw horses. If you are a beginner, you might want to practice drawing the parts separately before attempting a complete rendering. Study the drawings on this page, and look at the way the shapes and forms change as the viewing angle changes. Ears The position of the horse’s ears reveals its mood. For example, ears pricked forward usually indicate alert interest, whereas ears laid back are a sign of anger, discomfort, or fear. As you practice drawing the ears in different positions, note how shading is used to define the form. Basic Heads The proportions of this young foal are slightly different from those of the adult horse on the opposite page. It is also shown at a slight three-quarter angle. Advanced Heads This profile has been developed a little further than the previous examples were. You will follow the same steps as before, but be more careful and deliberate with your lines and shading strokes. Remember to observe your subject closely so you can render a good likeness.
