How To Draw A Horse Head

Here is a simple horse head that you can draw. It's a simple horse head and very easy, and if you practice it, you can draw this horse in just a few seconds. I used to love to draw this little horse head next to my name in all my friends' yearbooks at school when we signed our names in them.
 
 

First, you just draw a straight line. Start at about the middle of where you want the horse drawing to end up, and draw down to the left.
2. Next, draw the horse's muzzle and chin by making an arc down to the right.
3. The jaw is just an easy short line. 
4. Make an almost half circle for the cheek.  Notice that the start of the cheek is almost exactly  below the starting point above it on the forehead.
5. Now you are ready for the ears.  Draw the first one in two strokes like this
6. Then do the other ear peeking out from behind the first ear. Not all of it will be showing.
7. Add a few strokes for the forelock
8. Now you're ready for the eye, nostril and mouth.  I like to draw a more carnoon looking mouth so that I can show expression. You may prefer to draw a more realistic one that is not "smiling"
9. Next, Draw the crest of the neck. Make a long sweeping arc.
10. Then add the throat latch
11. Finish with a whispy mane. You could also make the mane flowing away from the neck by pointing it upward as if the horse were running, or in a breeze.

Have fun drawing this horse head. Next I will show you how to draw the whole body.
