Fantasy Drawings of Horses


It's time to add fantasy drawings of horses to our fantasy family. Fantasy Horse Head Drawing

I had a good time doing these fantasy horse drawings.

They are probably out of proportion, but, can you really notice it?

I found some old drawings to get ideas and then the challenge lay ahead.

Can I copy a drawing of a fantasy horse and get a good likeness?

So, not one to be daunted, away I went. This fantasy horse head was truly easy and I thought you would like to copy it.


When I drew the full horse figure, I had to erase the legs a few times but I'm satisfied with the final drawings. That's all I need.

The quest here isn't to be perfect the first time around.

I know as I continue practicing that I am improving all the time. I also know that my desire to draw gives me an edge.

You will find these fantasy drawings of horses are easy to copy.

You might think these horses look like unicorns. I think they are one and the same. Fantasy Horse Drawings

The unicorn is known to be a big part of medieval legend and art.

It gets its name from the single horn on his forehead.

You can find drawings in the public domain that you can copy without standing on any copyright toes.

(Public domain is work that is not copyrighted or the copyright has expired).

This is the safest way to do it. I always make my own changes anyway, to put my own original stamp on my drawings.

Alternately, you can draw on your imagination. Or, you can use bits and pieces from lots of drawings.

Fantasy Horse Drawing

For this drawing, I put a few smudges in the background to give the impression of clouds, and some light lines to indicate his flight.

Fantasies are stories that don't exist in real life.

So when I sketch my fantasy drawings of horses, I wonder what to include in the background that also belongs in fantasy land.

In this drawing, below, I put a castle in the background. That was just to give you an idea on how you can elaborate on your drawings.

Just Try It And See

Fantasy horse drawings are easy because no shading is required. Unicorns are normally white.

Although, if you want to, you can always do a black fantasy horse.

When I do a drawing of a fantasy horse, I start with the head and draw the back, then I move to the front legs and complete the drawing.

You can do a rough outline using block shapes and then sketch over them, rounding off as you go.

Try different ways to do your drawings until you find one that suits your style.
