A Professional Artist Shows You How To Draw A Horse [Video]
BioWars’ lead artist Gonçalo Lopes created a video tutorial that will help you learn how to draw a horse from scratch:
The reason we’re doing this is that the square is going to help us determine the size of the horse.
The distance between the left and the right side of the square represents the horse’s length, while the space between the square’s top and bottom tells you how tall the horse is going to be.
We’ll draw the head outside of the square later on, but at this point, you should decide how big you’d like the chest, back and legs to be.
Outline The Horse’s Chest, Belly & Its Backside
Now that the square is in place, let’s start illustrating parts of the horse’s body.
Apply light pressure to your pen because you’ll want to erase unnecessary parts of the drawing once you’re done sketching.
First up, we’re going to draw two circles in the upper corners of the square, like this:
The circle on the left is where the horse’s chest will be, while the circle on the right represents the horse’s backside.
Next up, you should connect the circles with thin lines, like so:
Although it may be hard to picture it at this point, the upper part of your horse’s body is slowly coming together!
Draw The Horse’s Neck And The Head
To make the sketch start to look like a horse, let’s add the neck and the head.
At this point, you just want to draw the outlines.
As you can see from the picture, Gonçalo drew the bottom of the horse’s neck as wide as the circle in the left corner. Then, he gradually narrowed it until he reached the point where he then drew the head.
Use simple lines and make the outline of the head and the neck look like geometrical shapes.
If you’re a beginner, it’s more important to get the proportions well and decide on the appropriate size of the head and the neck than to make them look realistic this early on.
