Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today I will be drawing a girl
on a horse in the water.
I hope you enjoy it!
For this drawing I will use my Tutto3 mechanical pencil,
out of its three leads I will begin with the 0.5.
First I´ll do a basic sketch of the horse,
and I´ll start with a triangular shape for the head.
Like so.
The bottom part for the mouth,
and then the neck,
and the ears.
I have a piece of paper under my hand so as to not leave any grease
which can affect the graphite.
And now, let’s sketch the rider, beginning with the head, the face
and the jaw.
I did a simplified version of the Loomis method, if you are
interested in more, watch my video: ¨How to draw the head from any angle¨
Then we come down sketching her body.
First I do a very general shape, a rapid sketch and then if it looks alright,
we can add detail.
We do the nose, the mouth,
a slight shadowing for the cheek,
and then the hair flowing with the wind,
and then indicate the clavicles or collar bones.
I was inspired to create this drawing by my Instagram friend Zinta,
she is not only a beautiful model, but she is also an excellent Polo player,
and she is a helicopter pilot too [laughter].
Pretty amazing!
You should follow her on Instagram @zintapolo, I’m sure you will
enjoy her beautiful, inspiring pictures!

Now, I switch to a softer lead to get the darkest values,
like for the nostril, the eye and the inside of the ear.
I clean up the drawing with the kneaded eraser,
and we begin shading.
The list of materials, that I am using as well as the Instagram accounts
that I mentioned are in the description box below the video.
First I shade lightly and then I may come back and reinforce some of it.
For the horizon line I use a ruler so that I don’t mess it up [laughter].
And I switch to the hardest lead to sketch the hills that are far away.
Let’s draw her feet and then give a tone to those hills.
I love horses! they are amazing.
They are noble, faithful, courageous and intelligent.
They have worked together with us and have served us faithfully
for over 5 Thousand years.
They have played a vital role in so many different things, from the battlefield
where they have often been true heroes!
to working the grounds and they have even been Hollywood stars! [laughter].
One of the most famous horses in history was Bucephalus,
Alexander the Great's incredible horse who was instrumental in unifying nations
over three continents and founding seventy cities.
One of which, by the way, was named Bucephala in honor of the stallion.
Even though we are drawing a white horse, it may have pretty dark shading.
And let’s also do some light clouds up there, then I will smudge with a brush
and after I will be able to pull lights with a kneaded eraser.
Some interesting facts about horses are for example that they can sleep both
laying down and standing.
They have the largest eyes among any land mammal.
And since they have them on the side, they can look almost
at 360 degrees, at one time.
Horses use their ears, eyes and nostrils to express their mood,
they also communicate their feelings with facial expressions and with sounds.
Very good!
¡Excelente!
It´s ready!
