Draw Horse Heads and Faces

Here is a detailed diagram of the horse head anatomy. Not only did I draw out the head of the horse, I also laid out detailed areas of the many different parts of a horse head and face.

This is the front view of the horse head anatomy. As you can see I show you the brow area, cheekbones, snout and also show you the jugular grooves which horses are so famously known for having prominently visible.

For this tip step I basically show you the heads of three different types of horse. The one at the top is the head of an Arabian bred horse, the lower left is a Shire horse and then finally to the lower right is the head of a pony.

When you draw the head or face of a horse, there is a question that is asked often and that is "where do I place details?". That is actually a good question so to help answer some of them, I've drawn and pointed out areas that you should detail your horse head and face.

As you can see this is a tip of how NOT to draw the muzzle of a horse. I actually made the check mark on the wrong side right, and the right side wrong. The muzzle to the left is the way you should draw the muzzle of a horse and the one on the right is the wrong way.
