Easy Drawing Tutorial: How to Draw a Horse Standing Sideways

Today I’ll show you exactly how to draw a simple horse standing side view easily, using only 10 clear steps. This tutorial is straightforward, and even if you’re new to drawing, you’ll be able to follow along without trouble.

Things to Notice When Drawing the Horse

  • Clear side view showing the horse’s profile and overall shape.
  • A simplified body outline without complex details.
  • Short mane running along the horse’s neck.
  • Clearly defined hooves for a realistic touch.
  • A simple tail with a gentle curve.
  • Basic details for facial features like eyes, nostrils, and ears.

Once you’ve completed this horse drawing, you might also enjoy trying sketch a more realistic horse’s head, or even other animals like dogs, cats or wolves. And, check the website soon, as I plan to publish lots of new guides dedicated to different animals.
