ABOUT THIS LESSON
In this lesson I'm going to show you how to draw horses from reference! We'll kick things off by looking at some classic horse illustrations from legends like Frank Frazetta and Paolo Serpieri - studying the way they translate horses into stylized comic art, with captivating character and personality!
Then, bursting at the seams with inspiration, we'll hit the drawing board - ready and raring to sketch some horses from reference.
I'll show you how to lay down the bare-bones foundation, then how to build it up into a fully fleshed out and rendered horsey. You'll get my inside tips on measuring out proportions and describing their anatomy with subtle hints of rendering.
These majestic creatures are profoundly fulfilling and fun to illustrate, with their naturally expressive poses and anatomical shape language. So, if you've ever wanted to try your hand at drawing them, but you're unsure where to begin - this is it, right here.
By the time you're done, you'll have multiple horse studies to show for the time you've put into this lesson, plus a newfound confidence for drawing these four-hoofed beauties - which is a really good thing, considering horses are probably the most common animal you're likely to come across in comic book illustration.
I hope you enjoy the lesson - and remember, put this stuff into action! Knowledge without application is no use to anybody.
