Imagine you’re drawing a wide, shallow bowl that’s tilted at the same angle as the U-shape.
Make sure that the top point of the triangle is pointing up towards the top edge of the paper. Another option is to make ears that are diamond-shaped. Draw diamonds extending up from the top of the horse’s head, but leave the pointed edges off the base of the ears. [4] X Research source
Make this line about twice as long as the horse’s snout.
Make this line about twice as long as the back of the horse’s neck.
It’s okay if there’s a gentle curve in the line that makes up the horse’s back. It doesn’t have to be perfectly straight.
Include a slight 30-degree bend in the lines near the center to give the impression of a knee joint. [9] X Research source
Create a shape that looks like a wide, shallow bowl extending under the back of the horse.
Make sure that the legs are bent at a 30-degree angle at the center with the knee joints facing forward. [13] X Research source
Imagine that the horse is wearing a small, pointy shoe as you draw this part. It won’t look like a realistic hoof, but it will give the impression of one. Another option is to simply draw small rectangles at the bottom of each of the horse’s legs. This is another easy way to create simple hooves. [15] X Research source
Make sure that the legs have a little bend in them similar to the others you drew. [17] X Research source
Imagine the horses tail is blowing in the wind slightly and draw it extending out from the horse’s body, or keep it in close to the horse’s body to give the impression of stillness.
Another option is to position the dot towards the front of the circle to give the impression that the horse is looking ahead.
Imagine the horse’s ears are 2 mountains side-by-side and you can only see about one-third of the back mountain.
You can also color in the horse’s body in any color you want, such as brown, tan, black, white, or even an unconventional color, such as red, purple, or green. It’s your horse! Make it any color you want!
