SKZ studies part 1 (4/8) Lino, Chan, Hyunjin, Felix.
I realized I had never posted any of the studies I've done for the past (almost) 2 years x'D I was finally able to finish Lee Know's study recently, which is the fourth out of the eight members, so here they are!! I'll do the rest of them sooner or later :3
Hey!!! You made a "how to draw wings" sheet, but— how on Earth do you draw horse!?!? The bane of every artists existence
Yeahhh horses are hard. They have lots of little nuances on top of complex anatomy and weird ass shapes (literally and figuratively). Drawing them requires lots and lots of practice. And this is like...entire art book levels of subject matter but here are a few tricks that I've picked up over time -
Key body shapes - shoulder, barrel, hip
I won't go too far into this one because Ken Hultgren does a much better job in his book The Art of Animal Drawing. But TL;DR - a horse's body has three main masses - the shoulder, the barrel, and the hip. Each one is tricky to draw on it's own since they're all weird shapes, but it's helpful to me to break a horse body down into simpler terms.
Key muscle masses
When I draw horses, I like to emphasis curves vs straights. Horses have that built in naturally as their body is often either "pure muscle" or "pure bone". There's some really nice details at the intersections of body parts, like at the front elbow and behind the ears along the neck (aka the "poll") where there's highly definable muscle groups that can help with visual clarity.
Fun fact, young horses grow hip-first. The horse in the photo above is 8 years old. That same horse at 4 years is below. Cracks me up how much taller his hip was at the time.
Ok so the muscles on the front legs combined with the shoulder mass is a fave combo of mine. The shoulder mass itself is something that I've found that is particularly horse-ish. For me, it's a pretty big visual signifier - almost more important than the neck. You can show a lot of tension/action in the body with the shoulder depending how you simplify it. Horses use their shoulders A LOT (too much if you ask any dressage rider or reiner), so emphasizing the shoulder can make a horse more expressive.
Legs. Oh heavens, the legs.
Yeah ok so again, Hultgren goes into fantastic detail on legs and hooves (I still follow how he simplifies hooves to this day my gosh that guy is a genius), but I often break them down like this for quick sketching. Are horse's legs realistically this emphasized? No, but I like the visual language; believable but expressive. This can apply to any size/shape from arabians to drafts.
And finally...
A few head details -
Overall horses have SO many variables. The fun part about that is that they're highly customizable and able to be endlessly stylized. The tough part is that they're hard to draw strictly because of all of the little things to keep track of to make sure the horse reads as "horse".
And so because third time's the charm, Ken Hultgren's Art of Animal Drawing really is one of the best I've seen for breaking down, simplifying, and applying horse anatomy to active drawings.
But most of all, the more you draw horses the easier they'll be.
this isn’t suppposed to be anatomically accurate, female and male pelvises have subtle differences, but these should do for drawing skeleton monsters :)
(Added text descriptions to the images (I did my best) in case you don't understand my handwriting)
Basically my rendering process and art techniques for all of my artworks. There is more to it of course but this post was centered on this whole drawing specifically and had to keep each description brief or this would have gotten excessively long. Besides, I've improved since this drawing and I do some things a bit diferently than before.
I can make more of these kind of post in the future explaining how I get to figure out the shapes and colors of things, basically how I draw.
A time span
BONUS
Don't take this last image as if now the artwork is completely wrong because of "bad proportions". This is a self critique, by the estandars I put to myself. Putting that aside, it's still a good artwork, I did a pretty good job on this one and I hope one day to find the same motivation to surpass it.
Artists! This art book is a game changer if you struggle with making your drawings simple and recognizable, and if you want to improve your sketching and form :))
Speed will come with practice. The more you draw, the more comfortable you will become. This sounds pretty obvious, but drawing fast can feel intimidating, especially if you are like me and get caught up in the details. I use scratch paper or a sketchbook meant for really unrefined work
Set a timer for 10-15 minutes and try to draw as much as you can in that time frame, this will help you release the feeling of trying to get a perfect drawing.
You can break it down with 30 sec to 1 min gesture drawings, one site I like is https://line-of-action.com
Start with simple shapes and work your way up to more complex ones, this will help you get faster with construction.
Examples of super rough and mildly more refined art.

had a few people ask about my study process recently.
i don't really have one singular method and kinda like to do things a little differently every time i approach a new artwork. i recorded a timelapse of another quick and rough tony/rdj study i did. i'm quite awful at explaining anything so i hope the timelapse process video and simple breakdown gif below demonstrates what goes on in my brain a little. hope this helps!
