Horses are really difficult to draw, so it’s a good idea to understand how they are constructed. Here are two videos to help you. The first shows you what is going on under the skin.

It’s easy to get confused. What we might think is the knee is really the ankle and the elbow is really the wrist, which is why horses look so weird and why their knees and elbows seem to bend the wrong way!

Watch the videos and I hope you will get a better idea of how to get drawing horses.
