Page one of what is going to be a very large project.

All of the illustrations will be new and drawn by me. There will be "textbook" drawings as well as illustrations from life. It will be more than just "how to draw a horse" it will be "how horses work."

Any and all input and advise is most welcome. Be it as simple as a spelling or grammar check or suggestions for subjects. If you have a particular part of equine anatomy that you have issues with feel free to explain it in detail and I will address it as fully as I can when I come to it.

As you can see I'm starting from the bottom and working my way up. Once I get through the main column of the legs it'll be the basic body proportions and the overall picture before diving deeper into the specific parts followed by body types and things pertaining to specific types and breeds.

Do enjoy and I hope this is informative!

Once I get a few more pages done I'll offer up "books," of each section as they are completed and possibly a complete one when it is all said and done. In the meantime each "book" will probably consist of a binder and sheet protectors until the whole thing is done and perhaps I'll self-publish it. We shall see.

You might eventually talk about conformation faults and show examples of them. Cause we all know that not every horse is perfict and confermation defaults are more common them most people think.

It's on the list! A lot of artists I've seen have really bad conformation faults worked into their style and I don't think it's intentional! One of the most glaring ones is excessively dished hooves (technically trim-related than conformation, but still, they all look like they're foundered and ill-cared for!).

*laughs* Yeah I've noticed that to. Makes the horses look duck footed. But still when actually explained yes it can make better art but if one wants to say draw a picture of a horse and give it more character a couple flaws would be great to bring that character to life.

The problem is that 99% of the time it's unintentional, which is where the problem is. It's like in writing and other arts: you have to know and respect the rules before you're allowed to "break" them properly.
