Review
If you want to draw horses then I can recommend this book. It really is just about drawing - no words are required so there are none. There is a brief introduction to using the book and further tips, but after that it is up to you. Just like How To Draw Birds In Simple Steps (also reviewed on this site) I was impressed with the beautiful simplicity of this slender book, reminding me irresistibly of the old Walter Foster series I learnt to draw from. This breaks the horse down into some basic shapes, and then adds the details in two or more drawings. Every new stage shows the next part in color, and finally there is a pencil drawing and a colored study of the subject. There is a large range of horse poses to choose from including heads, galloping, rolling, rearing, jumping etc and a good range of horse breeds from the Przewalski to the Lipizzaner, Exmoor Pony to Bay Arab and everything in between. Another one intended for my keeper shelf, and at under GBP5 (0r $10) inexpensive and very useful.-Myshelf.com

Exploring the concept that all drawing is based on the construction of lines and simple geometric shapes, this valuable guide teaches aspiring artists how to draw horses in a variety of poses.

How to draw different horse breeds in dynamic poses, Sep 19 2010
By A. Bouck - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Draw Horses in Simple Steps (Paperback)
As I studied these drawings, I was reminded of Rembrandt's drawings or the paintings of Lucy Kemp Walsh. These are darned good drawings!!! A step by step approach is used (probably to encourage the beginning artist) but it is the last 2 stages which are the most interesting: the final pencil sketch or drawing and the watercolor rendition. They are gorgeous. And the poses are varied and valuable as they show you how to present the horse in an interesting and artistic manner.As the copyright says you can reproduce the pages for personal use, I enlarged them and wow are they gorgeous. I am interested in the highlights and the way the artist uses color or shading to show the muscles and shape of the horses. Summing it up, Wow! How beautiful. Dynamic. Perfecton. Happiness......
If you want a book which shows you not only how to draw a horse but how to paint one (watercolors), add this book to your collection. Or make it your first horse drawing book. It's a keeper.

Entertaining for a 7 yr old and a 17 yr old, Jan 20 2011

This review is from: How to Draw Horses in Simple Steps (Paperback)
Santa got this for my 7 yr old daughter for Christmas, and she and her 17 yr old sister spent 30-60 minutes every day during their holiday vacation drawing horses. The 17 yr old was able to grasp more of the details so she seemed to get more out of the book, but the 7 yr old had just as much fun trying to draw the same things as her older sister. A definite hit.
