Horse Drawing: Complete

Whole body. Still have that issue with "high hocks" but I fixed the knees. Anyway, this is obviously not a step-by-step tutorial. It's to give you a resource to learn from on your own. You have to do work. Like muscle study and so forth.

While horses can be made out of circles, I prefer more angular shapes because they are NOT flexible animals like dogs and cats. The tendency I have when using circles is to make the object I'm drawing "soft" and "flexible" Cows are a great example of a BOX animal. They look like a box. Horses are slightly more flexible than a cow, but they're still angular.

I'm also big into building up from a skeleton, because that makes sense to me. You can't bend bones, so it's a great frame work. Better than spheres or circles. If you don't know your bones you're going to have trouble with horses.
