Draw a Horse - Building Framework

Now you sketch the a framework for the contour drawing, adding some more of the horse's structure, placing the key points of the leg joins, neck and head.

Draw a triangle for the horse's neck, a circle for the cheek and a square for the muzzle. That's all you need for now - we'll add the contours later.

Next draw two straight lines, for the forelegs, two bent ones for the back legs, with balls at the joints as shown. Draw short sloping lines for the horse's fetlocks (ankles) and triangles for the hooves.
