I need to learn how to draw horses so badly it's like a toothache. Any and all helpful hints are welcome. I'll probably finish and ink this piece. I'm not terribly pleased with the guy in the lower left, but there was blank space on the page that I felt needed to be filled. More Torn World stuff. Pencils. 05-03

I think that the horses heads are great. I have been drawing horses for 16 years and the thing that helps the most is to use cirles. Such as two for the body so you know where the head goes and the tail and with the legs, look at a real horse and use circles for all of the parts of the legs and continue with it that way and then go back and feel in the detail and soon you can create a masterpiece horse by just staring out using circles. Hope that helps. Let me know if it does.

I know it's soposed to be hudge.... I'm not snooping through all your snow unicorns hehehe!

sugestion for this... horses back end and shoulders(aka withers) are on the same level.. like so

Butt> ()-() <chest level... *nods*

You have this ones front legs longer than the back legs. Giraffs and hyenas are like that, horses are not. 12

Hey The snow unicorns are really cool:-0 Horses are complicated its all the angle you put them in. You must remember to heep his hawks straight and to make your heads well defined. If you ever wanna take a look at some of my drawn horses send me an email and ill send a couple to ya.

If you want to learn how to draw horses (I am 14 and I've been drawing horses since I was six, it's my speciality) get a horse breed book and study the horse breeds. Each horse is like a fingerprint, not all look the same. You'll see what I mean. Oh, and by the way, I really do like your picture, it needs improvements, but it is still pretty good.

I like the fact that horse is looking down at the person with his head tucked in. It looks nice. You need to shade it in a little more, because it is really light and somewhat hard to see. You should try drawing an Arabian Horse. They are so beautiful and fun to draw.

Are You Kidding??? The horse is great, maybe too big

I love your unicorns, I have just one question. How do you mount it?

I love it. Some suggestions:
1. move the saddle back.
2. Finish the picture since it is so good.
3. Where the person is in the left bottom corner you might want to put a rock or something other than a person. It just doesn’t seem right to have a person there.
4. Keep drawing drawings like that because you are awesome at it.
5. Maybe look at a horse breed book so that you can learn to draw certain breeds. (That way I will get to see more beautiful drawings like this one.)(I know I am selfish.)
6. Keep up the great work!

You say you’re not good @ drawing horses...? You help me draw ppl and I’ll help you draw critters....I’m pretty good @ it...and plants too........great work by the way...! I’ve never seen Unicorns like these before...and what’s with the ring in the nose??? It was one of the first things I noticed, besides the fact that they are HUGE and look kinda funny for a unicorn... It’s refreshing!!!
Thanks a bunch! Sometime I’m gonna hafta get my art up here....soon....Anyhow....tootles!!!!!2
