Most recently, my son and I were in a petting zoo. The place is interesting, and the most curious thing is that for children and adults there is an opportunity not only to look at animals, but also to stroke some of them, and even feed them. We took a lot of photos, and based on them we prepared a high-quality presentation for the school. And they even mastered an excellent technique on how to draw a horse in a quick and easy way.
First there was a "lesson". Everyone really liked that they managed to quickly and easily draw a beautiful horse. They showed each other their pictures, told why they decided to make their horse white or black, or in “apples”. And then we all had a fun tea party together. The children liked everything very much and they happily went home, taking away each of their pencil drawings and the acquired ability to draw horses, which they had just mastered.
Everyone left, and my child and I thought, because children from other classes and schools, too, probably would like to learn how to draw a horse in stages. Yes, so that even for beginners it is not a big deal. And so we decided to show everyone how to draw a horse step by step.
We divide the whole work into 3 stages:
- Training;
- Drawing with a simple pencil;
- Image styling.
Stage 1. Training
Despite the fact that here we will not start the work itself, and we will not draw anything, but this is one of the most important stages that will help you learn how to draw a horse. What are we doing at this stage?- We learn more about the animal, what breeds and types of horses are.
- We find a suitable photo or use the picture that we have in the article in order to copy it.
- We prepare all the necessary tools for working on a horse drawing: simple and colored pencils, an eraser and paper.
So, it turns out that there are wild and domestic horses. This huge family includes ponies, donkeys and zebras. There are among them wild mustangs and fast trotters, and there are heavy trucks, sports and walking breeds. And, first of all, it is worth considering the photographs in order to choose for yourself the appropriate object for sketching.
Stage 2. Working on the image
The second stage is learning to draw a horse. Of course, we want it to turn out not only beautiful, but also as similar as possible to the real one. And that is why it is very important that the proportions are observed.Draw three egg-shaped ovals. Two - small, at the edges. In the middle is a larger oval. The distance between them is approximately the same. The first oval is the head, and it is tilted at 45 degrees to the middle figure.
Between two egg-shaped ovals we draw a third one, it "enters" both one and the other figure. This is the future body of the animal.
We mark the place where the horse's legs will be located, and draw them with broken lines, as if projecting where they will have folds.
Now it is easy to make the legs voluminous, and at the same time draw the bottom of the animal's body.
Now we will learn how to draw a horse's head. We use the shape of our egg-shaped oval, taking into account the large cheekbones of the animal and its nostrils. On top of the muzzle we make 2 small ears on the top of the head.
We connect the first and second ovals with two curved lines, this is the powerful and long neck of the horse. Also, we draw a curved line from above, between the second and third ovals. This is the body of our trotter.
We erase all auxiliary lines. And we make the tail and mane of the horse, show the lines of muscles on his body and depict the nostrils and eyes on his muzzle. The drawing of the horse with a pencil is ready.
Stage 3. Registration
The drawn horse turned out to be strong and beautiful. It seems that if you decorate it, it will come to life. Well, let's try to do it. But first we circle it with a colored pencil.
It remains only to completely decorate the picture and make a background, because you just want our mustang, feeling a gust of wind, to be able to rush off into the distance.
Having learned to portray a horse, we tried to add character to his image,
Today we will continue a series of lessons on drawing animals. We already know how to draw a wolf, a dog and a cow. Now we will teach you how to draw a horse with a pencil step by step. After all, if you think about it in the Middle Ages, it was impossible to do without these living taxis. They served as both passenger and freight transport. What can we say about the cavalry, without which in those days not a single army in Europe could do. In addition, horses are amazingly intelligent creatures, as far as their working lives are concerned. They very sensitively understand their master and listen to him. Well, mustangs have become one of the symbols of disobedience and free temper.
And so let's start drawing our horse friends!
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 hind legs in full shape, and then add one more 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 . Follow our website, here you can find interesting drawing lessons every day. Leave comments and show your work. You can draw from the picture I gave, or look on the Internet pencil drawings of horses and try to draw a horse yourself.

Drawing a horse professionally is quite difficult. But we are not striving now for professional drawing. Today we will learn how to draw a horse step by step using simple instructions. The scheme is so simple and understandable that I don’t remember a case where someone’s drawing didn’t work out.
1. Prepare a piece of paper, a pencil and an eraser. Choose the location of the sheet - horizontally or vertically, for this picture it does not matter.
2. To begin with, we will schematically draw the main parts of the body using geometric shapes.
Draw a rectangle in the center of the sheet. The most difficult thing will be to correctly draw the proportions of the body, head and neck. It is the ratio between these parts that will make your horse proud and properly built.
3. The neck is a triangle
4. Triangular legs and tail.
5. Outline the horse's muzzle in the form of a loop, triangular ears.
The blank for the main drawing is ready.
6. Now we begin to draw the contours of the body.
On the back, make a deflection - the place where the saddle is placed on the horse.
7. We draw the hind legs. Pay attention to their structure.
8. Rounding the line of the abdomen
9. Draw the front legs.
10. Draw the chest and neck.
11. Draw the head.
Draw the hooves and tail.
12. Draw the horse's mane, a small bang.
At this stage, when you have finished drawing, you can already erase the auxiliary geometric shapes with an eraser, you will no longer need them. The horse is almost ready.
You can turn your horse into a unicorn by adding a horn on the head and making the mane and tail thicker and curly. You can draw Pegasus by adding wings.
1. Three circles for the outline of the horse's head
Drawing in stages, it is important to draw the first contours correctly. The proportions of the future picture will depend on their location. For the future drawing of the horse's head, draw three circles with a pencil. The top is the largest, the bottom is the smallest, and the center is the middle one. Try to copy their location exactly from my drawing.
2. The initial outline of the horse's head
Outline the outline of the horse's muzzle, without pressing hard on the pencil, you may need to correct these outlines. And in the big circle draw a small circle for the horse's eye.
3. Ears, nostrils and neck of a horse
Draw the ears on top of the horse's head.
Outline the neck and add the nostrils in the drawing and draw the line of the lips. Delete extra contour lines from the drawing.
4. You need a bridle to control a horse.
Any horse has a bridle with which it is controlled. And only in the wild or in a fenced enclosure do horses run without it. First draw a small ring at the edge of the lips and a leash sticking out of the mouth. Also, at this stage, add some details to the drawing of the horse's head. Draw the mane, refine the shape of the eye and nostrils.
5. Draw the frenulum completely
In this step, draw the complete bridle and add details to the drawing of the horse's ears. After that, one can say that horse head drawing almost finished.

6. Apply shadows on the drawing
To make the horse's head voluminous and the picture look like a real artist's, you need to add shadows in the drawing with a soft simple pencil. You don’t need to color the horse with colored pencils, but making shadows with a simple pencil will not hurt at all.
Learning how to draw a horse is a rather difficult task, since it is required to accurately convey the grace of this animal. 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, drawing its outline step by step.
The body shape of a deer is very similar to a horse, if you can draw it correctly, then there will be no problem for you how to draw a horse. In the position when the deer is alarmed by something, his legs should be slightly bent, ready to jump.
The elephant has one easy to draw part - the legs. They are very large and even in an elephant, like pillars. But drawing a horse is very difficult, mainly because of the complex shape of the legs. In a horse, they are curved back. In this lesson we will learn how to draw an elephant with a pencil.
The giraffe, of course, is not at all like a horse, although it is also considered an artiodactyl animal. And, perhaps, therefore, if you look closely, it is easy to find a lot in common between a horse and a giraffe.
It will not be difficult for you to draw a camel if you repeat the simple steps of this lesson exactly. And if you have already drawn a horse before, then this will help you more accurately observe the proportions of the drawing.
A horse is an animal that has been living next to a person since ancient times and used to be the main means for moving over long distances and transporting goods. The use of these animals for travel began to decline sharply when rail transport began to develop intensively, and then road transport.
Now they are kept in villages and villages, and in large cities there are special schools where these thoroughbred beautiful creatures are taught to ride - this is considered almost an aristocratic occupation. By the way, the most expensive animal of this species belongs to an Arab sheikh, and their cost reaches about 200 million!
Today I'll show you how to draw a horse step by step with a rider in pencil for beginners, jumping or rearing.
Step two. We start tracing the outlines of the drawing, and make it a little noticeable.
Step four. We clean with an eraser all unnecessary lines that spoil the drawing.
