#1 - Use Shapes and Lines to Block Out The Head

(i) Start by drawing a straight vertical line roughly in the center of your paper

This will be a guiding line for the next steps

(ii) Make a small circle near the bottom of the line. It will become the horse's nose and muzzle

(iii) Draw a slightly larger circle at the top of the line as shown above

(iv) Now you will make one more slightly larger circle that intersects the top circle like in the picture.

• Remember for drawings at this stage, your goal is to get the basic proportions and shapes down on paper first.
  

• Keep all the shapes in this step of the pencil drawing very light. I have darkened them so you can see them on your screen. You will erase most of them later.
