hey!! i love your art and i was wondering if you have any advice on drawing horses in a stylised way? my sona is a horse and iβm finding it tricky to draw his face/body :/ thank you!!
Horses are really fun to draw because they are one of those animals you can stylize in SO many ways and it still reads as a horse. Also, I feel like there used to be a lot of dislike for horse furries in the past, but it's a lot better because people have learned to stylize horses in some really fun ways!
There's really no right or wrong way to stylize an animal. I think a guideline is that it Should look like the animal in the end, but by that it doesn't matter what shape you go with for nose, ears, etc. as long as it reads as that animal. Of course it also doesn't have to! And horses are pretty forgiving for stylizing
Anyways, the way I stylize horses, I do 3 main things
I simplify the nostrils/nose
I try to keep the neck somewhat thick/large too
some horse ocs ive done..
This is just how I personally do it. It's just based on my preferences and how I like horse ocs to look. There's no right or wrong way, some people prefer horses with realistic noses or longer muzzles. You can try experimenting and drawing your horse based on how i do it and see if that works for you. You can trace over my visual for practice too.
