Description Haha, it looks like I wrote Sketeton :3

Okay, I'm not claiming to be an expert, but these are some of the things I've noticed about horses that allow me to draw them fairly accurately without a reference. If it helps ya, great! If not, that's okay too.



Oh and also! A really good way to get a grip on these concepts is to take photos of horses and draw these shapes/lines on top of the picture. If you can visualize the anatomy underneath a horse's skin, you can probably visualize the anatomy of a made-up horse later.

This was incredibly helpful!!!! I never could figure out legs before so I just didn't draw them. But this really helped me understand how pieces overlapped and connected

After getting lost in your gallery today, I felt compelled to see how badly I butcher horses. Well, turns out I'm pretty good at it, so I started wandering your gallery again... and I came across this. It took me a half dozen times, but the head is starting to look more horse-ish than not! Thank you so much - I can't wait to start doing full body works.

I will be using this in my attempt to draw my first Bracabello. If I understood correctly, the confrimation doesn't really matter, right? They just need to have the short manes and markings that glow in the dark and the adults can be signed or unsigned?

Oh, thanks for making this, its quite useful. I already draw the body pretty much like that, but you have a much more efficient way of drawing the muzzle, and I never thought of drawing the back of the skull. It will make matching the head and neck together much easier. Thanks hon!
