Horse Pencil Drawings

Horses in pencil: a horse in profile, a galloping horse, a horse head with a long mane, a foal, a pony, a rearing horse, a horse jumping over a fence and a horse with flowers in its mane. They are simple line drawings, easy to copy into a sketchbook.

Start with a light outline in an HB pencil, then draw the mane, the tail and the shading with a soft pencil.

Questions and answers

What is the easiest horse pencil drawing?

A horse head with a mane or a pony: their outlines are simple and have few details. Once they feel easy, move on to the horse in profile and the galloping horse.

Which pencil should I use for a horse drawing?

A regular HB pencil is good for the outline: its lines are light and easy to erase. For the mane, the tail and the shadows on the neck, use a soft 2B or 4B pencil.

How do I draw a horse mane in pencil?

Do not draw single hairs. Draw a few long curved locks from the neck down, make their edges darker and keep the middle light, so the mane looks full.
