In this article, I’ll walk you through how to draw a horse’s head from a front view. I’ll keep the steps straightforward and provide useful details to help you get proportions right and accurately represent key features.
Main Features to Capture When Drawing a Horse’s Head Front View
- Symmetrical face shape, narrowing toward the nose.
- Large, expressive eyes evenly positioned on both sides of the face.
- Clear nostrils placed evenly on the muzzle.
- Defined ears standing upright.
- Mane falling naturally over the forehead, framing the face.
- Smooth, clear lines for jaw and cheekbone structure.
If you want more practice, consider drawing a horse head side view, a standing horse in three-quarter view, or a clear side view of a horse next.
