Fantasy Drawings of Horses

It's time to add fantasy drawings of horses to our fantasy family.

I enjoyed creating these images even though the complexity of animal shapes is a little beyond my capabilities at this early stage of hobby artistry. I rely completely on sight to copy the outline and to gauge correct size.

My rough sketches are probably not true to proportion but it is all a work in progress, I first concentrate on learning to draw before delving into the finer principles of art.

This fantasy horse head was truly easy and I think you would also have good success should you copy it.

I found some old drawings to get a few ideas and then the challenge lay ahead for me to create my own fantasy horses.

I ask myself... Can I copy a drawing of a fantasy horse and get a good likeness? Well, I'm not one to wonder for too long, so I picked up my pencil and away I went.

Have Persistence To Succeed

When I drew the full horse figure, I had to erase the legs a few times but I'm satisfied with the final drawings. That's all I need because the quest here isn't to be perfect the first time around.

I know as I continue practicing that I am improving all the time. I also know that my desire to draw gives me an edge and helps me to succeed.

You will find these fantasy drawings of horses are fairly easy to copy although drawing animals of any kind can be daunting to beginners.

You might think these horses look like unicorns but I consider them to be one and the same.

The unicorn is known to be a big part of medieval legend and art. It gets its name from the single horn on his forehead.

There are many drawings to be found in the public domain archives that you can copy without standing on any copyright toes.

(Public domain is work that is not copyrighted or the copyright has expired)

Using material that has no copyright is the safest way to practice drawing from existing artwork.

Alternately, you can draw upon your imagination to create fantastic images.

You can use bits and pieces from lots of drawings but that is still something that you need to be careful with if the artwork currently belongs to another.

If you are wanting to draw only for yourself with no intention to sell, then it is fine to copy anything you like. Write all the details on the back of your drawing, things like who was the original artist, what book you copied from and then sign and date it for your own records.
