Let me start by saying that I assume you have your pencils, drawing paper and erasers ready, so I’ll skip all that and plunge right into showing you how you can draw your horse in just a few minutes.
Yes, I said in just a few minutes. Indeed, it is important to complete the scheme as quickly as possible. Why is that? That’s because unlike a still object (as in the development of still life), live horses move. There is no better way than to use rapid pencil strokes to capture the life, energy and movement of horses.
There are three specific areas that you need to pay special attention. The first area is the eyes, the second is the rippling muscles and the third (which is the most important) is the hair on the horse.
The eyes of a horse is what makes your drawing comes to life. You start by drawing the body and then add eyes and immediately the drawing comes to life! Do not believe me? Try it yourself!
Second, you need to capture the rippling muscles of the horse to seem real. Horses are very powerful and magnificent-looking creatures. The key is to get the horse lean and fit. After all, horses do exercise a lot.
And when they prance, trot and gallop, their magnificent mane of hair flows behind them. The mane and tail is a big part of your drawing, so it would be necessary to capture the beauty of the hair.
If you can capture these three elements, then I give you an A grade.
