Here’s a fun project if you’re in the mood for something playful: how to draw a cartoon horse in a classic cartoon style. This one focuses on simple shapes, strong facial expressions, and big lively features. If you’re used to sketching basic animals, it won’t feel too complicated.
Main Features to Capture When Drawing This Cartoon Horse
- Big head (mostly muzzle) with an exaggerated smile
- Large upper front teeth showing
- Simple, round body that’s slightly larger than the head
- Short legs with clear hoof shapes
- Long tail with flowing curves
- Animated, messy mane sticking out in sections
- Simple eyes with expressive raised brows
If you’re having fun with this style, you could also try sketching a funny cartoon cow or a cheerful goat next — they fit the same animated look.
Color Markings to Keep Your Sketch Organized
- Red Color: shows the new lines to focus on in each step
- Black Color: represents the lines you’ve already drawn
- Grey Color: outlines the initial rough sketch and base shapes
