Horse Head Tutorial

Jun 2, 2025

Hi everyone! I hope you're in the mood to draw a majestic horse portrait, because that is this month's tutorial theme, sponsored by DeviantArt! If you follow along and create your own horse portrait, make sure to submit your deviation with the hashtag #HorseHeadTutorial to earn the profile badge: Tools I'm drawing this horse portrait digitally in Photoshop, but I'm sure you can follow along with any digital art program you use. You can also draw traditionally, though maybe some improvisation is needed in some steps, but you got this! I used only three brushes for this artwork, starting with a simple hard brush for the sketch, and two textured brushes for the colouring and the background. However, you could really use any brush you're comfy with Step 1. Let's start this portrait with the simple shapes of the head (consisting of the cheek and nose area) and the shoulders and neck. It's good practice to work rather quickly in this first rough stage, so your view on it stays

Just some basicshapes and lines as the foundation for what comes next. The pose I had in mind was sort of a boxing pose. Step 2 - Form Start figuring out the anatomy with blocky shapes. Thinking 3-dimensionally, adding thickness and heft. Simple shapes. Block out the form. Step 3 - Layering Just start filling details and mass be loose don't worry about mistakes. Hopefully for your own work you already know what you're going to draw so you don't have to worry about design. Follow your guidelines. This will reveal whether your initial sketch work. You'll see right away if there is anything that doesn't work. i work digitally. so I'll lower the opacity of my current layer and start redrawing. Adding detail, refining. You can also start to erase the guides as you see fit. I'd say my type of illustration is

And if you follow the steps and post your artwork with the hashtag #ArcticFoxTutorial, you'll also get a special badge: I have drawn this with your good old graphite pencil and some colored pencils, but you can obviously use other traditional and digital media as well Without further ado, let's begin! Step 1: Draw a circle, and divide it into four parts. Step 2: Let's get the most important details added, namely the eyes and the nose. The top of the nose should be halfway between the center and the lower edge of the circle. Also remember that arctic foxes, like other foxes, have small noses compared to dogs and wolves! Step 3: Time to add the muzzle! Each whisker pad is a nosewidth wide, and has a rounded "smiling" shape. I've
