Summary:Surely the most visually impressive of animals, the horse has always been a favourite subject for artists of all kinds and also one of the most challenging. With this book, you'll pick up the essentials of equine art in no time. You'll understand how the skeleton and musculature are expressed in a horses posture and mass; how to observe a horses pose, and capture it realistically; how to show the fall of the mane and tail to express movement. This book is packed with foolproof step-by-step work-throughs created by a gifted teacher of drawing. A logical structure to the lessons will ensure that your drawing skills will benefit from these exercises, and that you'll soon be able to create your very own convincing portraits of this most beautiful and beloved animal.
