Detailed Guide: How to Draw a Standing Horse in 3/4 Perspective

In this article, I’ll show you how to draw a horse standing in a three-quarter view. Drawing animals from different perspectives can sometimes be tricky, so I’ll provide simple and practical steps to help you accurately capture the horse’s proportions and pose.

Focus Points for a Three-Quarter Standing Horse Drawing

  • The horse is slightly turned, providing a three-quarter view of its body.
  • Front legs are spaced naturally, with one leg slightly forward.
  • The head is turned slightly toward the viewer, clearly showing facial features.
  • Eyes placed realistically above the midline of the head.
  • Moderate-length ears pointing upward.
  • A curved, flowing tail positioned to the side.
  • Mane falls gently over the horse’s neck and forehead.
  • Legs are distinct, clearly showing joints and hooves.

Next, you can try drawing a horse’s head close-up or perhaps check the two previous guides for a different style and view of a standing horse.

Guide Colors Explained Clearly
