Step by Step Horse Drawing Tutorial

Step 1

Start by drawing the head. If you want a super easy way to drawing it, just draw a U shape, the horse drawing will still look more than cute. You can also make the shape like we did, this will bring you one step closer to one day mastering a realistic horse.

Step 2

Draw the ears.

Step 3

Draw the neck.

Step 4

Lets draw the facial features – the eyes, nostril and mouth.

Step 5

Draw the legs. Start with the front leg, next to the neck line, just a bit above and draw a line downwards, then to the right and back again. Next comes the hind leg, you can draw it in the same way as you did the front one or, you can make it a bit more realistic as we did in this step.

Step 6

Draw the back. Start by the neck arch, go down just a bit and then up again and again as if you would want to write a number two, wrap it up by connecting the back to the leg. Also draw the belly, draw a line from one leg to the other.

Step 7

In the similar manner as you did the first pair of legs, also draw the legs in the background.

Step 8

Almost there! Draw the lines at the bottom of the legs to make the hoofes. Draw the tail – start at the top, make a loop as you would want to make a loose number 2 (or S backwards 😉 and find your way back to the top.

Step 9

Last step and you are done, unless you want to color in your horse. Draw the mane. Start by the ear and zig-zag your way to the back. Also draw a bit of mane between the ears. All done! You have just learned how to draw a horse. Pretty sweet isn’t it?
