1. Begin the horse outline at the face. Use one curved line for the front of the face, and one at the bottom of the horse's head.

The lines should meet at the mouth. Draw a curved line for the nostril, and use two more for the eye. Draw a circle within a circle inside the eye and shade between them.

The horse was first domesticated around 6,000 years ago. Since then, horses have variously been regarded as working animals, food sources, and treasures - some horses today are valued at millions of dollars!

Horses have also long been a part of our art. They appear on ancient pottery, medieval heraldry, and modern paintings.

Often, horses were drawn in motion, like the one in our illustration - running, leaping, or rearing to fight!
