    I like how this is more than just, "Insert this specific curve for this part of the horse" but also covers tips that can help to draw other things as well.

    Me: I fear no man..
    Legs of horses when I’m drawing: *exists*
    Me: But that thing...
    Me: *It scares me.*

    Do you hear that low roar in the distance...? That's the sound of thousands of artists singing your praises for breaking down horse anatomy! I own multiple books on animal skeletal and muscular structure, but your explanation made all that technical information click. Thank you so much for this!!
    Would you be open or available to making a similar video on deer anatomy? Or do you have any good videos to suggest?

    Actually, those lumps on the back of the horses leg is called a hock, and the shoulders aren’t called “Shoulders” they are called withers the spine comes of a horses neck say the long neck and then you have just a straight line from the neck, horses are simple if you know the anatomy it is WAAAAAAY easier for you if you can work out Human or animal anatomy to learn how it works.
    It’s just a fact from yours truly the horse girl who is psycho, XD have a great day

      @AmbiCahira Před 8 lety

      There is a page for natural hoofcare that has excellent images and explanations on the anatomy of the hoof, it's for natural barefoot farrierwork for healthy natural hooves but it was extremely helpful for me on understanding the hoof structure! They do have a few images of hooves from wild mustangs and a few are cadaver hooves so be prepared that some images are a little graphic at first. But really, it is very informative and educational! thenaturalhoof.co.uk

  • @charredpyrographyphotograp7204

    I can see why he addressed the legs the way he did. To show how they work, for better understanding of how to make sense in drawing a horse....however...horses knees are only in the front legs. The hind legs have the stifle, and hock. Same as a dog too. I liked how he broke down a bit of anatomy....sometimes you need to know what's under everything for it to all come together. Nicely done.

    This is actually so helpful.. i always try to sketch with lines to dictate where my anatomy goes, but your whole sketch language section blew my mind. I also am way too overly critical of my initial sketches, so it helps to know my beginning "loose sketch" does NOT have to be perfect, just a base for a further sketch.

    • @LionArtStudio
      @LionArtStudio Před 5 lety +1

      Actually the joints Bobby is referring to as ankles in a horses leg at rear is called hocks & in the front is their knees.....so actually yes people will think they are knees in the front if they are horse people because they are. It’s just when breaking it down to draw it’s easier to explain in this manner. The fetlocks are the ankles of horses attached to hoofs... they flex & control weight distribution in the same manner as our ankles.

    • @susantunbridge4612
      @susantunbridge4612 Před 5 lety +2

      @@LionArtStudio I know it in horseman's terms, but I was thinking that for an non-horsy artist, the horseman's lingo is confusing. Hocks, stifles, pasterns, croup, etc. Not a bad idea to look up a Pony Club diagram of horse anatomy, and compare it to this. Another thing is that drawing from photographs can be treacherous, because you often get the wrong part of a movement in a photo, so one has to leave off the photo and use your instinct, or it can look stilted.

    i just love this video so much, it helped me a lot
    and ahh finaly someone tells the important thing for drawing: someone need to understand how it works to draw it.
    i see so many tutorials where people just go by 'yeah draw it so and like that and its done hah' but learning the anatomy and things help so much more sonce you then not only can draw one style but every artstyle you can come up with ! ( whats amazing if you are a person that likes to use stylized characters in drawings)
    and i just can say again this helped me SO much before my horses had look like sausages with laggies but now there actually look like horses ahhh ♥

    Thanks! Horses have been driving me crazy for ages. Only today did I realize that the hoof is more of a triangle than I thought. I would love to see a great human anatomy class on Schoolism. I think I know anatomy, but then as I try to draw, I'm missing things and I do not know what I'm missing. (If that makes sense?)
