Learn How to Draw a Horse, Step by Step

By Helen South, About.com Guide

To finish your horse drawing, erase the construction lines, and make any corrections you feel are needed. Now you have a basic outline of a horse, ready to shade or color in.

In this lesson we used simple steps to make the process very easy to follow. A horse drawn in this way is never going to be quite realistic, because we are drawing the basic 'idea' of a horse, not a real horse. Horses vary as much as humans do. Have you ever tried drawing a generic 'human'? It ends up looking a bit strange and unreal. The trick to drawing a realistic horse is to draw just one horse, and to observe it carefully
