Do you want to draw a horse in stages, to delve into all the subtleties of the image of this animal? Try to remember the algorithm, carefully look at the diagrams. When you reproduce all the given schemes on your piece of paper, you will quickly get a spectacular horse.

1. First of all, mark the boundaries of your drawing. Of course, it is better to immediately determine the rectangle in which the animal will be located. This makes drawing much easier.
2. Now you need to draw the basis of the future horse's head. To do this, draw a medium-sized triangle in the left upper corner drawing. The corners of your triangle should be rounded. Do exactly as shown in the picture.
   
3. Now you need to draw two ovals, placing them at an angle relative to each other. They will later become the basis of cereals and chest horses.
   
4. Connect your two ovals to make the horse's belly. Make the lines smooth, avoid sharp transitions, kinks.
   
5. Now you need to work on the image of the horse's legs. First, mark the points of their bends with dots, and then connect your points with straight lines. Try to make the proportions of the horse's body harmonious, pay attention to the drawing. Remember that the horse's knees are high enough.
   
6. Now you have to finish the legs, make them quite muscular, full, draw the hooves. The heels are slightly raised, the hooves should be depicted in the form of a trapezoid, the knees of the animal protrude slightly forward. For now, take care of your front legs.
   
7. You can begin to finish drawing the hind legs of the animal. Remember that the horse's hind legs are much fuller than the front legs above the knee. If the front and back legs are the same in your drawing, the proportions will be violated.
   
8. Draw the horse's neck. Here you have to remember the golden mean in order to draw the horse correctly. The fact is that a too thin neck will look bad in the picture, but an excessively thick, massive neck will also spoil the impression of your horse. The neck should be powerful enough, but it is important to convey the gracefulness of the horse. To do this, you need to draw with smooth lines, be sure to indicate the transition from the torso to the head, making the neck gradually thinner. Let it be slightly curved.
   
9. Once again draw the torso, legs, neck and head of your horse.
   
10. Take an eraser and delete all the lines you don't need left from building the horse. Don't let them distract you. Erase the lines carefully, leaving no streaks or marks.
11. Now comes the most interesting stage. You have to draw the horse's head. In this picture, the animal is facing the audience in profile. Try to make the muzzle more expressive. Draw ears, designate large nostrils. Be sure to make the horse's eyes big.
    
12. It's time to draw your horse's tail. Sometimes the tails are sheared, someone braids them into pigtails, intercepts with rubber bands. In our drawing, the magnificent long tail of the horse flutters freely in the wind, which gives the drawing dynamism. You can immediately see that your horse is moving.
    
13. Update your drawing again, removing all unnecessary lines, unnecessary strokes.
14. Draw the muscles of the horse. Mark them with strokes in the neck, back and front legs. If in doubt, completely repeat the lines drawn in the picture. A horse with such muscles will look more realistic and powerful.
    
15. Now decorate your horse with a fluffy mane that is lifted by the wind. Remember that trying to draw every hair, curl is not worth it. Just mark the line of the mane, give it volume, with a few strokes you can divide the mane into curls.
    
16. Add a few more neat strokes to indicate the folds of the joints on the horse's legs.
    
17. Now you can make your drawing more voluminous. Use pencils, blend them. Pay attention to where the horse is darker and where it is given lighter shades on the sample. Do the same.

Running horses are beautiful and graceful creatures. However, they are one of the most difficult animals to draw. I will show you how to draw these majestic creatures, providing you with knowledge of their basic anatomy so you can create a natural pose. You will also learn about horse gait and be able to draw realistic and dynamic poses.

You can look at the photo on Envato Market.

1 Horse Skeleton

Step 1

The skeleton is the foundation for the entire body, so it must be studied to understand the movements and postures of the animal. But don't worry - you won't need to count the edges. Just take a close look at this picture.

Step 2

Use the skeleton to see the basic structure of each pose. Memorize all the joints (circles) and bones (lines), their location and proportions between them, and you will be able to draw any horse!

Step 3

It is important to remember that hooves are not feet, but toes. Real feet start at joints that look like knees and elbows. Therefore, horses do not have knees on their front legs - they are wrists!

Step 4

A pony is also a horse. Remember that she has a shorter neck and legs - the rest is the same.

Step 5

A foal is the opposite of a pony - just look at those disproportionately long legs!

2. Overview of horse postures

Now you know how to draw a stationary horse, but let's face it - it's boring. To bring a pose to life, you need to understand how horses move, and more importantly, how they don't move. By guessing the pose, you can suddenly confuse a trot with a canter, making the drawing unrealistic, no matter how much time you spent drawing muscles and light reflexes.

Step 1

"Step" is the first and slowest movement of the horse. In this position, the horse stands on the ground on three legs while one leg is raised. This is a four-fold gait (four knocks can be heard).

Step

Step 2

The trot is a type of gait that the horse uses for long distances. In this posture, the horse moves its legs diagonally in pairs, in a double rhythm.

Lynx

Step 3

The canter is faster than the trot, but slower than the canter. This is a triple gait in which the horse uses one of its hind legs to propel the others forward.

Kenter

Step 4

The gallop is very similar to the canter, but faster and its rhythm is four times. Masters of painting made one mistake. Do you remember the painted horses running at a gallop with all their legs stretched in the air? It doesn't work that way. When a horse stretches its legs, at least one of them remains on the ground. The "suspended" stage occurs when all legs are bent under the body.

Gallop
Difference Between Canter and Canter
Never don't draw like that

Step 5

A very effective, but not entirely comfortable pose for a horse is rearing. This posture is difficult to maintain. for a long time, and the horse makes this jump when excited. To draw it natural, you need to place the hind legs at the right angle.

Step 6

Horses can sleep standing up, but that doesn't mean they can't lie down. In fact, they sometimes need to lie down to really rest. They usually lie on the same side as bent legs, but they can also lie "flat", relaxing the whole body.

Step 7

Horses look very graceful when they jump. Also, when the horse is hovering in the air, this pose is ideal for drawing a flying Pegasus.

Step 8

That's all I wanted to say about poses. Now you can choose any of them for your drawing.

3. Horse muscles

Step 1

Muscles give shape to the body, so they also need to be studied. Unfortunately, the horse's muscular skeleton is very visible under the skin, so if you want to skip this step, your horses will never look realistic.

If you want to quickly draw a horse, here is a simplified diagram. It will allow you to draw a good body shape without going into details.

Step 2

Here is a more complex structure. That's all you need to know to build a believable body. You may think that this will never come in handy, but without muscles, the skin will look flat.

Step 3

Add muscles to the chosen pose.

Step 4

The next step is the skin. It covers the muscles, hiding the sharp boundaries between them. The bulges of the muscles under the skin reflect light in different ways, making its surface uneven and full of depth.

Step 5

Horse breeds are divided into hot-blooded, cold-blooded and warm-blooded. Hot-blooded horses are lean, long-legged and noble-looking (like Arabian horses), fast and intelligent. Coldblooded are typical draft horses (like from Skyrim), large and muscular, but slow-witted and quiet. Warmbloods are a mix of both breeds.

Step 6

Erase the lines of muscles that touch each other.

4. Draw horse hooves

Step 1

Actually, hooves are horse nails. Horses are odd-toed, which means that their hooves are not cloven. Drawing cloven hooves is only acceptable if you are going to draw a unicorn.

To draw the hoof from the side, draw a line along the length of the leg. Then draw a diamond touching the line at one corner.

Step 2

Cover the diamond with something like a cap.

Step 3

Outline these shapes.

Step 4

Add some hair and draw in the rough texture of the nail.

Step 5

To draw the hoof from the front, draw a rounded, slightly tapered shape at the bottom.

Step 6

Cover it with a cap.

Step 7

Also cover with a contour.

Step 8

Add hair and textures. Ready!

Step 9

Drawing the hoof from the back is easy too. Start with the same rounded shape, but this time make the "cap" big and falling.

Step 10

Create an outline.

Step 11

And again add hair and texture.

Step 12

My horse now has hooves.

5. How to Draw a Horse's Head

Step 1

Step 1

Horse nostrils are large enough that they can open even wider when more oxygen is needed. The easiest way to remember their shape: they look like the number 6 or an inverted comma. So always start with an oval and put a "6" (or an inverted "9") inside, adjusting its roundness to the correct size.

Step 2

When drawing the muzzle, emphasize only the lower lip, the corner is omitted. Also don't forget vibris - horses have a lot of them!
