Kawaii Horse Drawing

Are you excited to start? First, we will focus on creating basic outlines. This is a great way to build the foundation of your kawaii horse. Once those outlines are in place, we can move on to adding some shading to give it depth and character. As you follow along, pay close attention to how the different shapes relate to each other in size. This will help your drawing look balanced and cute! There are several steps in this lesson, so stay focused and have fun as you watch your kawaii horse unfold on paper!

Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Outline the Head

   

   Start by forming the shape of the horse’s head. Then outline the snout by drawing a curved line.

2. Draw the Face

   

   Draw a circle for the horse’s eye. Next, add a few lashes attached to its eye. Now, create a tiny oval for the nostril. Then, draw an oval below the eye for the rosy blush on its cheek.

3. Attach the Ear

   

   Draw a pointed ear on the side of the horse’s head. Add a smaller triangle inside to form the inner ear.

4. Outline the Body

   

   Form the neck and outline the shape of its elongated body.

5. Add the Legs

   

   Draw four upright legs extending from the bottom of the body. Next, outline the hooves near the base of the legs. Make sure to erase any overlapping lines where the legs meet the body.

6. Draw the Heart

   

   Draw a small heart outline near the back of the horse’s body to make it even cuter!

7. Form the Tail

   

   Draw a thick, fluffy tail attached to the horse’s body.

8. Add the Mane

   

   Outline the horse’s flowy mane along the back of its head and down its neck.

9. Color the Kawaii Horse Drawing

   

   First, color the mane and tail with brown. Now, use pink for the inner ear and blushing cheek. Fill in the eye, nostril, and hooves with black. Next, shade the heart red and the snout with a cream color. Then, use a light shade of orange for the horse’s coat.
