Here's a very easy step-by-step lesson on how to draw a horse's head. We'll use some simple shapes to build the drawing, so you can follow this lesson even if you think you have no drawing ability at all.
1. Start with Basic Shapes

Draw these shapes, very lightly, arranged just as they are in the example: - start with a triangle - add circle for the cheek - a rectangle for the face - add a curving arch for neck.
2. Adding Detail

- Add the eye (a semicircle with a pointy hat shape) - 'cut off' the corners of the rectangle to make the nose - add the bump of the chin - draw nostril and mouth - Add an s-curve for the throat - add a long mane and draw the ears.
3. Finishing the Drawing

Erase your working lines and fix any bits you don't like. Strengthen the drawing with a firm pencil or pen line, or add shading or color.
