Hello, draw the symbol of 2014 :)

1. How to draw a horse, the first drawing step


All the drawing lessons of my site are built on the use of geometric shapes as the initial contours of any animal drawing. The drawing of the horse is made in the same way.
Using three circles, draw the main parts of the horse's torso and connect them with lines, as in my drawing. Drawing these contours is not difficult, but it is important to accurately position them on a sheet of paper in relation to each other. Try to make this horse drawing step as accurate as possible.

2. Add the contours of the horse's legs in the drawing


In this step, you need to draw the outlines of the legs, neck and head of the horse. Start with the line of the horse's neck. To do this, you just need to add to the already drawn one more upper line of the horse's neck. With a small circle, mark in the picture where the horse's head will end. After that, you can start drawing the outlines of the horse's legs.
Start drawing the front legs first. To do this, draw two pairs of small circles and connect them with straight lines. Instead of hooves, draw triangles. The hind legs are the hardest to draw in drawings of horses, perhaps because they do not bend forward, but backward. And pay attention, the lines of the legs do not start from the center of the circle, but are slightly shifted to the left.

3. General contour of the body, legs and head of the horse


Check carefully whether all the proportions of the horse drawing are respected. Is the horse's head and short legs too big? Are the hind legs bent back? Check the distance between the hooves, the front legs are almost closed, and the hind legs are standing as if the horse is preparing to run. If you are sure that everything is drawn accurately, then move on to the next step of the horse drawing.

4. The drawing of the horse is almost ready


At this step, we will not draw anything, just remove the extra contours from the drawing now. Touch up the lines you accidentally deleted and see how easy it is to draw a horse. Already at the third step of drawing you got a real a beautiful horse, it remains only to draw the tail and draw the head of the horse in detail.

5. It remains to draw the horse a few more details


The first steps of drawing a horse are very simple, but require attention to ensure that the initial contours are accurately positioned in relation to each other. The proportions of the horse's drawing depend on their location. The next steps require attention to small details. You need to carefully draw small details, such as the eyes, nostrils, ears of the horse. To draw small details, the pencil must be sharp. Don't forget to draw the tail.

6. The finishing touches of the drawing of the horse

The most difficult thing will be to draw correctly proportions of the body, head and neck. It is the ratio between these parts that will make your horse proud and properly built. Second step-by-step lesson: Now let's try to draw a horse that got scared of something. In the drawing, it is important to convey the emotions of a frightened horse. Pay attention to the jaw and nostrils, which convey the mood of the animal. And the jaw and bones of the skull, which appear in the picture, make the image more realistic. Third step-by-step lesson: Try to catch the correct proportions between body parts. This will help a schematic representation of the head, neck, chest of a horse in the form of circles and ovals. Fourth step-by-step lesson:

The drawing requires the correct representation of the horse's legs. Pay attention to curves, joints and hooves animal. Knowing the anatomy of horses will help you draw a picture. Fifth step-by-step lesson:

Perspective in drawing requires a clearer depiction of parts of the body that are as close as possible, and the definition of parts of the body that are hidden from the eye due to movement. Sixth step-by-step lesson:

Having correctly drawn the horse's head, you can not worry about its appearance in other drawings. Try once to see all the muscles and bulges on the animal's head so that you can display them later. Seventh step-by-step lesson:

An older horse has less muscle and adipose tissue. Accordingly, in order to convey the return, you should draw the edges well, and focus on the sad look. Tenth step-by-step lesson: To draw a horse's face really beautifully, you should practice a lot, because even the slightest mismatch in proportions will make the drawing look different, and your horse will not look so bold and proud. Eleventh step-by-step lesson:

A horse that has just been running, but has moved to a walk, must be tired. Your task is to draw a wet mane full of chest, dilated nostrils, in order to transmit increased breathing. Twelfth step-by-step lesson:

A horse's jump while taking off from the ground is very beautiful pose. The whole body of the horse moves in one line, and the legs are parallel to each other. Thirteenth step-by-step lesson:

A stubborn horse behaves aggressively. This can be conveyed with the help of a lush flowing mane. All movements convey stubbornness and unwillingness to submit. Fourteenth step-by-step lesson:

When a horse is rearing, its legs are bent. When drawing the angle of the bend correctly, remember to follow the length of the leg from hip to knee and from knee to hoof. Fifteenth step-by-step lesson:

The main difficulty in this drawing is to depict the horse's belly and bent front legs. One part of the legs overlaps the other, so it will be difficult to convey it the first time. Sixteenth step-by-step lesson:

It is worth remembering that the horse's neck is very mobile, therefore, in the case when the animal reaches for food, the muscles lengthen. Therefore, the neck during meals is a little longer than usual, which may look unnatural. Seventeenth step-by-step lesson:

To draw sad horse, it is enough to depict relaxed muscles of the muzzle, half-closed eyes and slightly lowered corners of the mouth. Nineteenth step-by-step lesson:

It is very difficult to see a horse at a gallop, let alone draw it. Therefore, the drawing may seem slightly unrealistic, because it is difficult for the eye to catch such a speed. Last for today, the twentieth step-by-step lesson:

STEP 1. The first thing you need to do to learn how to do this is to draw the main line of the horse's body. You can achieve this by doing three circles, one each for the head, chest and back end. Then add guide lines that will connect them all, starting with the neck, back, belly, tail, and legs.

STEP 2. Now you can start sketching out the shape of the horse's head, and nose like you see here. Also depict the mouth opening exactly, as in the drawing, so that your stallion would have a look of rage on his face. Begin sketching out the neck, and muscles for the front leg or shoulder.
STEP 3. We continue our lesson, how to draw a horse with a pencil. Let's start drawing the horse's head by adding the ears and the beginning of the mane. Once that is done, you can do the back of the neck and then the curve of the back. Next, draw in more detail the eyes, nostrils and teeth. Perhaps our lesson on how to draw a mouth will help you.

STEP 4. It's time to start the real fun. It's time to draw the horse's mane. Since this stallion is in an aggressive stance, you will need to make a mane to make him look wild. A few sharp edges will give this effect. Next you should finish sketching out the front legs and then the hooves. You should also draw the belly, and the beginning of the hind legs.

STEP 5. You're almost there guys, a few more steps to go. Start sketching out the back legs in full form, and then add another little thing that makes him a stallion (gee).

STEP 6. Lastly, draw the stallion's tail and then add some minor muscle features like in the picture. Erase the guide lines and shapes you added in the first step to clean up this drawing.

When you're done, you should have a sketch that looks exactly like the one you see here. All you have to do now is add color. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial that taught you.

STEP 1. Let's start with the muzzle.

Step 2. Draw lower part the neck and muzzle of the horse.

Step 3. Draw upper part neck and back.

STEP 4. Start drawing the front and back legs.

STEP 5. Add a couple of lines to the legs and don't forget to draw the horse's ear.

STEP 6. Finish the lower belly, two legs and hooves.

Step 7 Draw the remaining two legs.

Step 8. And at the very end, draw the horse's tail, mane, eyes and nostrils.

Learning how to draw a horse correctly is a rather difficult task, since exact proportions are required. But if you draw a horse in stages, then it is quite possible to draw it correctly even for children. In this lesson, we will learn how to draw a standing horse, step by step, outlining its outline. It is difficult even for an artist to draw a picture of a running horse, so first draw a picture of a horse that stands motionless. The most complex elements of a horse drawing are the hind legs and head, pay special attention to these details.
First, let's draw a simple rectangle, its size will set the size of the horse's body. It will help to draw the correct location of the legs and neck of the horse. Just draw it in the middle of your sheet to fit the rest of the details. If you want to draw a pony, then draw a rectangle a little wider.

Next, draw two ovals, as shown in the figure. The first oval is placed horizontally, for the front legs and chest of the horse. We draw the second oval in the upper right edge of the rectangle. Let's make it a little smaller than the first oval and place it at an angle. This oval will serve to draw the hind legs of the horse.

In the next step, we will draw the basic shapes of the neck, legs and head shapes of the horse drawing. This will help us draw the basic proportions, and will serve as a key point for drawing the outline. Draw a triangle for the horse's neck, a circle for the cheeks and a square for the horse's muzzle. That's all you need for this moment, we will add the rest of the contours later.
The next step is to draw two straight lines for the front legs, and two slanted lines for the back, with balls on the joints, as shown in my drawing. Draw short slanted lines for the horse's brush (ankle) and triangles for the hooves.

Now add a few lines with a pencil to the main contours, circle the torso and legs so that the drawing looks like a horse.
How to draw the horse's legs: First, make dashed lines to draw the legs and draw a large inverted triangle on the top of the hind legs. Everything else is pretty easy to finish on your own, looking at my drawing of a horse.
Head and neck: join the square at the nose to the cheek - a circle to form the shape of the horse's head. Let's add the ears. Let's draw a line connecting the puffy cheeks to the neck, which will make the lower part of the triangle neck a little thicker. Draw a curved line above the neck.
Body: Equalize the chest of the horse at the top of the front leg. Attach to the chest and back from above with lines, which turned out to be a curve.
Well, now the drawing resembles a horse, although it is not finished yet.

Let's add a few more details to the drawing to finish drawing the horse or pony.
First, let's draw the horse's head. Draw the eyes - it's a circle with a triangular roof. Let's draw the mouth - it's a straight line with a slight bend at the end. The nostrils are a simple round line. Hooves draw in the form of a parallelogram, and then erase the upper right corner.
You can draw the mane and tail long and shaggy or neatly trimmed, like a thoroughbred horse.


My new article will help you and your children draw a horse easily in 5-10 minutes. Here you will find three detailed step-by-step instructions with a description of the entire process and photo examples.

In this article, I will show you how easy it is to draw a horse for children and adults. Today I want to offer you not one, but three options for drawing.

Option number 1

To get started, let's find out how easy it is to draw a horse step by step in a couple of minutes.

1. Draw the head

With the help of several lines, we outline the outline of the head, separate the nose, depict the ears with two loops, and mark the eyes and nostrils with dots.

2. Neck

On a note: To explain how easy it is to draw a horse for a child, you need to choose a simple image and follow step by step instructions. Broken into parts, the picture no longer seems so complicated, and the task is impossible.

Now with the help of straight lines draw the neck and mane of our horse.

3. Finishing the Body

Draw the horse's torso and legs using incomplete ovals of various sizes.

4. Finishing touch

Draw the eyes, add a stunning smile to the horse and a cute tail. Our drawing is ready! If you want to learn how to draw a horse step by step with a pencil for children and adults,.

Option number 2

The second option will be a little more difficult. This instruction on how to draw a horse is more suitable for children 10 years old.

1. Making the skeleton of the drawing

Using ovals and simple lines, outline the "skeleton" of the future animal. So the picture will turn out more proportionate and naturalistic.

On a note: For sketches, use a simple pencil and an eraser.

2. Draw the horse's head

Now we “dress” the head of a horse on our skeleton. Draw eyes, ears and bangs, but do not stop at small details, limit yourself to only the main contours.

3. Trunk

Since we are drawing a horse in stages for children, at this point it will not be out of place to say that this is not a horse, but rather a cute pony. Therefore, she looks more squat and stocky than in these drawings.

4. Remove the auxiliary lines

5. Coloring the Horse

My horse will be red, with a fabulous reddish mane, but you can choose other colors you like.

6. Shadows and accents

It's time to paint the eyes, hooves, place light and shadow accents. Look, our drawing before our eyes becomes more voluminous!

7. Draw the background

With a background, the image will look more complete. We place our pony in a mysterious fairy forest.

Option number 3

And now I want to show how to draw a horse for a child of 7 years old. Perhaps, in this work, the help of parents is needed.

1. Create a rough sketch

This is the skeleton of our drawing, its basis. It will help to make the horse more proportionate.

2. Draw the head

3. The body of a horse

We finish the contours. Look carefully at how the horse's legs are drawn.

4. Remove the rough sketch

5. Coloring the animal

If we are talking about how to draw a horse step by step for children 7-10 years old, then let's talk about drawing in color. First we choose the main color, then we work on the details.

On a note: This rule applies to almost any image.

6. Finishing the job

A simple background won't detract from our beautiful stallion! Green meadow, blue sky and white clouds will come in handy.
