The horse photograph used as a reference for this tutorial.

This is the reference photograph of the horse that I'll be using for this tutorial. It had a busy background, so I've cleared all that away so you can see the horse very clearly. Remember that you can click on the images in this tutorial to see the larger image. You might want to keep this picture open in a separate window for reference as we work through the steps.

If you want to draw your own horse or a different photo, try following the IDEA of each step - capturing the basic structure, shading and so on - using your own photo, as we work through this tutorial.
