Horse in stages. Draw a horse. Let's get started

Learn to draw a smart and graceful animal - a horse. The article contains diagrams and instructions for children.

Many paintings by old masters depict a horse. This animal has long served man and was considered one of his best friends and helpers. Of course, beginners and children will not be able to immediately beautifully depict this beautiful animal, but you can try to learn.
Let's start with a drawing of a running horse.

How to draw a real running horse with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?

A running horse looks very beautiful and graceful. We will create the drawing in stages, starting with schematic ovals.

  1. We start the sketch with two ovals, place one, which is larger, in the center of the drawing - this is the future croup of the horse. Above it, towards the corner of the sheet, also horizontally draw a smaller oval - this is the future head of the running horse.
  2. Now let's connect these ovals and get the horse's neck. The horse’s neck is powerful and strong, remember the images of the animal in photographs and pictures. It is important to be able to observe proportions by eye. If you draw an animal neck that is too massive or too thin, it will spoil the drawing.
  3. The next stage is the legs of a running horse.
    For beginners and children, it is best to depict the two front legs and two back legs together. The front legs are thinner than the hind legs, back thigh the horse's is strong and powerful. We depict the hind legs in a position stretched back, while the front legs will be stretched forward.
  4. Once you have a complete outline of the entire figure of the horse, you need to move on to the details. Make the animal's muzzle narrowed downwards, on the head you need to round the cheeks, draw ears, draw an elongated eye and highlight the nostril, because the horse is in motion. When the detailing of the horse's head is completed, start drawing the tail. We remember that horses' tails are long and bushy, and develop as they run.
  5. The last moment is painting the horse, removing unnecessary strokes and applying light and shade.

And here is another diagram according to which a child can draw a running horse. It is more detailed and complex.

  1. We start, as always, with ovals with which we mark the body and head of the horse.
  2. Draw the contours of the legs.
  3. We detail the horse's morgue, and immediately draw the mane and tail.
  4. We detail the horse's legs and draw the hooves.
  5. At the final stage, we erase the auxiliary lines.
  6. We draw the background and color the picture at our discretion.


How to draw a real standing horse with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?

But we will draw the standing horse, starting not with rounded figures, but with a rectangle, to which we will add other geometric shapes.

  1. We draw an oval in the center of the sheet - the basis of the body of our future horse. Draw a triangle to the rectangle, this will help in the future to draw the animal’s neck. We also use triangles to mark the legs and tail.
  2. We add the head and ears to the neck.
  3. The next stage is drawing the details of the animal’s shape based on a geometric sketch.
  4. So, it’s tedious to make the horse’s back concave, where we usually see a saddle with a rider on the back.
  5. But the line of the abdomen needs to be rounded on the contrary, making it convex. We also round the horse's body in front and behind.
  6. Let's draw the back and front legs, chest, neck, Special attention let's give it to the tail, let it be thick and fluttering, like in a fairy tale.
  7. Now it’s the turn of finer details - hooves, bangs, ears, eyes, nostrils.
  8. At the last stage, you need to remember to erase all the original auxiliary parts with an eraser.
  9. At the request of the horse, you can draw beautiful harness and harness.

And what could be better than your own invented story. And every interesting fairy tale should have beautiful pictures.

But the little ones may not get a beautiful horse right away, which is why they get very upset. But if you draw according to this exercise and repeated approaches, the horse will turn out better and better.

horse

The child can start drawing from the first horse. This is a simple horse. It consists of 2 ovals: the large one is the body, the small one is the head. Let's connect them with a neck. Let's draw 4 simple legs (columns). That's all!

Now it's a matter of small things. Draw the mane and tail. We finish drawing the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Color it and tell it a story.

And if the horse doesn’t work out, you can practice and circle the dots. To do this, simply print the finished outline. Patience for you and your baby!

Star Unicorn

Unicorn is a mythical animal, a horse with one horn on its head.

This is not just a unicorn! He appears in the sky at night along with the stars.

You can simply download one of the blanks. On the first there are only stars that need to be carefully circled by dots. On the second there are stars and a horse that need to be circled. If this is all simple for your baby, then let him draw the next horse on his own.

Drawing a star horse is just as easy. Draw two ovals (large – body, small – head).

There is no need to draw out the legs, let them be sketchy. But, pay attention, the front legs bend forward, and the back legs bend back. This will have to be taken into account when the legs are drawn bent.

We finish drawing the fluffy tail and mane. The mane looks like a curved zigzag.

Draw stars and a month. Drawing a star is very easy. Try it! From the beginning we draw the letter A, only draw a little longer line in the middle, then we connect its ends with the vertices of the letter.

The most interesting stage. We take white, yellow and gray wax crayon and carefully color our drawing. What is our horse missing? So that she could be called a unicorn. That's right - a horn! We finish drawing the graceful horn and take the paints.

We dilute dark blue paint in the palette with plenty of water. AND big brush fill out the entire sheet. We remove drops that accumulate where they are not needed with a napkin.

Well done! Keep it up! Another work in the baby's collection!

Rainbow Pegasus

Pegasus is a mythical horse with wings on its back that can fly.

Our rainbow pegasus comes from the rainbow. He flies around the rainbow and makes sure that all the colors are in their place. And the following words help him with this... Do you remember which ones?

We draw Pegasus in the same way as all horses, two ovals (large and small). We connect the head with the body, draw the legs, tail, mane, ears, eyes.

What else do we have left? What makes Pegasus different from the rest? Right! Wings! Let's draw them in a floral style, like leaves.

All that remains is to decorate our pegasus and draw a rainbow. The arrangement of flowers on it will help you check your mythical horse.

Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting.

This work is also in the “circle the horses” collection.

Today we will continue the 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 cargo transport. What can we say about cavalry, without which not a single army in Europe could do in those days. In addition, horses are amazingly smart, both in their own right. working life, creatures. They understand their owner very sensitively and listen to him. Well, mustangs have become one of the symbols of disobedience and free character.

And so let's start drawing our horse friends!

STEP 1. The first thing you need to do to learn is to draw the basic line of the horse's body. You can achieve this by making three circles, one each for the head, chest and rear end. Then add auxiliary lines that will connect them all, starting from the neck, back, belly, tail and legs.
STEP 2. Now you can start sketching out the shape of the horse's head and nose as you see here. Also draw the mouth opening exactly as in the drawing, so that your stallion has a look of rage on his face. Start sketching out the neck, and muscles on 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, adding ears and the beginning of the mane. Once this is done, you can do the back of the neck and then the curve of the back. Next we 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 for the real fun to begin. It's time to draw the horse's mane. Since this stallion is in an aggressive position, you will need to make his 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, just a few more steps to work. Start sketching out the back legs in full shape, and then add one more thing that makes him look like a stallion (gee-gee). STEP 6. Lastly, draw the tail of the stallion and then add some minor muscle features like in the picture. Erase the auxiliary 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 just like the one you see here. All you need to do now is add color. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial that taught you, .
