Need More Help Drawing the Perfect Horse?
Most horse lovers have made more than one attempt to draw a horse. A complex animal, learning some of the basics is essential to understanding how to create an accurate representation.
Here are a few helpful tutorials to give you a leg up on drawing the perfect horse
Cedarseed
This is an incredibly in-depth tutorial by Cedarseed about drawing the equine animal which discusses the shapes of body parts, how to capture movement and how to incorporate body language and personality into your drawing.
Makani
A cute little tutorial put together by Makani, who has a real knack for drawing horses. She shows how to draw a horse with simple steps and the result is animated but anatomically well proportioned.
Kass Craven
Kass Craven created a horse drawing tutorial for beginners, and in several note-covered images shows how to shape anatomy and produce muscle definition.
Hazel Rah
This tutorial doesn’t end with the final picture, be sure to scroll down into the comments where Hazel Rah offers more in-depth written tips and instructions for each area of your horse drawing.
Droemar
Not as intense as some of the other options here, this is a guide which uses simple shapes to form the anatomy of the horse, taking the direction to the most basic level. Droemar isn’t long-winded, but this is a simple and effective tutorial.
Vixen The Angry Fox
For something a little different, check out Vixen The Angry Fox’s tutorial for drawing horse eyes. One of the most challenging body parts, the eye has the ability to convey a great deal of emotion and personality. This is a simple, step-by-step guide to a realistic horse eye.
Mendokusee
Beyond different, into something a little freakier, how about drawing your own centaur? I suggest you spend some time perfecting your horse-drawing skills before you try Mendokusee’s centaur tutorial. But once you are ready it will be a fun way to challenge your skills.
Color Your Own Instead
If you are fed up with trying to draw your own, you can always just print some horses to color in.

FAIL,the horse does not have a girth because the girth is attached to the saddle. I should now as i go horse riding every fortnight.

No, that’s the girth STRAP, not the girth. The girth is the part on the horse’s body where the girth strap goes. The girth strap IS attached to the saddle but the girth is part of the horse. 🙂

That’s the picture with the girth, and it’s not the girth strap, its the girth.

I just had the funnest day yesterday, cantering down the country roads of Dungog. We weren’t really supposed to race (because y’know what happens when 4 horses are cantering and the one in front is a bit full of himself and goes wild) but we did a few, which was very fun. When we visited Fosterton Lodge to visit the owners we saw a friend. My friend has exceptionally good hearing and she would warn us of a car as a quick as a flash.

Hi. I drew many equine pictures and studies in my day and this doesn’t really help at all, I would consider drawing from your heart. It might not be good but atleast you drew it.
