Ok, My suggestion is to behave in exactly the same way as you would approach a study of the human figure. First of all identify the line of action that characterises the figure and define the gesture. The horse's body can be schematised into simple figures: a box for the shoulders, which will help you define the positioning of the body in space, then there is an ovoid shape that fits into the box of the shoulders and ends in a box shape (but more squashed, almost trapezoidal) of the pelvis. The legs at first treat them as simple lines so as to fix the movement, the neck is a sinuous arch that continues the line of the back and the head a wedge. First establish the angle of these simple shapes, once you are happy with the pose and perspective you can start working on the anatomy. Always remember that horses, like all aninals have the same bones and muscles as we do, only the way they are arranged and developed changes. Thinking of the legs as legs and arms, feet and hands helps a lot (at least, it helps me). Don't just start with the outline: study the reference figure, break it down into simpler shapes, just as you would with a human figure.

It's a really good start. Your perspective and foreshortening is good. My suggestion: Before making a single stroke, think about it beforehand...line weight and gestures. practice with form and light simple shapes. and just erase and redraw what doesn't look fine. These things will take a lil bit of time at first but with time it'll become like an instinct.

I think the individual pieces often work pretty well, but the relationship between them is off in a few places. Seems like the front shoulder and leg on the right side of the drawing are too broad and too high. Not sure if you were trying to change the horse's pose (e.g., make it look like the horse was stepping a little higher than it is in the reference). If so, it still looks too broad to me. Down the back, you have the rear end of the horse level with the head, when in the reference it's quite a bit lower. Draw a horizontal line through the eye in the reference and it would hit the horse's back haunch. In your drawing, it's higher.

Hey there! Nice work so far. The challenge is very brave to begin with so good luck with it :) If you want to study something, especially anatomy, you want to break it down into 3D shapes, otherwise, you won't really understand much. You want to get to a point where you could change the pose and deviate from the reference in order for a better design. Here is a recent Proko video that talks about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T_-DiAzYBc Also Marc Brunet made a similar one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdEySZ3ggJg Good luck mate! :)

Hi! Nice horse drawing. It depends on what your goal is. If it's to make the horse look more realistic or true to the photograph I have a suggestion. Place your drawing over the photograph and see how things line up. I use photoshop but you can print out and use a light underneath if you don't have photoshop. Since a photograph has a lot of information in it (values, color etc.) sometimes I trace and then use the tracing instead to check my drawing. Seeing the picture with just lines/contour helps me focus on what is important (I really like proportion and line weight to look good). You have a lot of the components lined up but you can see with the comparisons I attached the eye is a little low and the body is pointed more toward the camera than what you drew. Hope this helps!
