Horse fine ink study

A complete standing horse in side view, coherent head and neck, four legs with natural overlap, short mane and full tail. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Map the ribcage, hindquarters and neck angle.

2. Connect the structure

   Connect the head and four legs through their joints.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryCheck the length of the legs before adding the mane.
