Drawing Horses: That Look Real (Quick Starts for Kids!)

Here is a guaranteed system for horse-drawing success. Use the fool-proof RIDE technique (Rough sketch, Improve, Draw in ink, Erase pencil) to go from a simple sketch to a beautiful finished horse. The secret's in the shapes! Using circles, squares and triangles, 'build' a drawing of a horse in a classic 'statue' pose; Draw horses from different angles and in different poses -- jumping, running, grazing, lying down -- using the same shapes; Visit the tack room to add accessories including a saddle, bridle, and reins -- even fancy mane braids; Create personality with manes, tail and ear positions, and textures. If you love horses, if you love to draw -- here is the one book that will bring horses to life in your artwork. For ages 8 to adult.
