Art TechniquesHORSES IN ACTION
Progressive MovementsāWalking
Notice the change of balance as the horse moves its weight from one leg to another.
Progressive MovementsāCantering
This is a slow, relaxed gait. The front legs leave the ground at the same time, and are slightly raised, while the rear legs are on the ground. When the front legs are on the ground, the rear legs are slightly raised.
Progressive MovementsāTrotting
Study carefully the position of each leg. Notice, particularly, the legs that run in parallel; for example, the left front leg and the right rear leg are both on the ground at the same time. In this way, you will catch the whole movement of the trot.
Progressive MovementsāGalloping
This is a fast gait. Both of the front legs leave the ground at the same time, followed by the rear legs. Notice that all four legs are often off the ground at the same time.
Progressive MovementsāJumping
With each movement, draw a line through the center of the body. This will be a guide to the position of the horse as it goes over the hurdle.
Wild Horses
First, you should block in the whole study. Notice action lines in relation to the body conformation. Sketch in the swing of the body and then the large areas, keeping in mind the action of the body as a whole.
Polo Ponies
These sketches of a polo game will help you when drawing scenes of men and horses in action together. First, draw the line of movement of the horse and then block in the sketch.
