How to draw - a simple horse head

So this is my first (of many perhaps) of  how to draw. Here I'll show you a quick way to draw a simple horses head.

Step one is just to draw two circles one large one for the head and one smaller oval for the muzzle. It's important to get the distance and angle between them right as they give the first basic structure to your horse. You might also want to sketch out the position of the cheek bone.

 Step 2 is to join these circles up thinking about the lines of the horse (this may differ between breeds). For this horse the line comes out from the circles and then dips slightly (some horses may have a more rounded head). The bottom of the head has two bumps from the muzzle to the throat. Then your want to draw curved lines for the neck of your horse.

 Step 3 - draw in the further details like the eyes, nosrils and ears and make sure your happy with the outline. You can tweak it a bit until your happy.

Finally rub out any lines that you don't need and draw in mane and forelock detail and colour if you want. 

This was just a quick doodle if you use this technique then I'd love to see how your doodle turns out. 

Gemini dragons

This was another thing I created for my zazzle store. I had an idea to create a dragon version of every star sign. Gemini being my star sign is were I started I have designs for the rest so it's an ongoing project.

Gryphon

Gryphon's are something I've recently been interested in drawing. I think it's how to show the lion and eagle combination which makes it something interesting to draw. 

Another thing that I love about these creatures is that they haven't been over done like dragons which gives you a lot more freedom over the character. Just need to get the rest of the gryphon right now.

Star Gazer

This is Blaze one of my dragon characters, well my main dragon character this was created by me before I had my wacom pen (which makes a huge difference by the way). It is one of those old images that I spent a lot of time on at some point I like the subject and so it would probably be great to try a redo of it, at some point. Here Blaze is staring up into the sky at a dragon constellation (it's inspired by the film Dragon Heart a film that had a very sad ending).

Blaze is a silver dragon and he appears in a lot of my doodles and writing. In my writing he is usually paired with a rider called Luna (I do tend to re-use the name of the main character for my writing a lot, I know very original however if they every come to anything I'll just have to find new names).

First post

Wow for my first post I was going to do some kinda of new digital doodle but unfortunately I have lost my wacom pen lol. So instead of trying to draw on a laptop without it I started looking through some of my notebooks at past sketches, not expecting much but anyway here's one of the drawings I found amongst the rubbish.

The photo hasn't come up very well (I may see if I can't fix the scanner or dig a better camera out). This was something that I came up with while thinking of creating a zazzle store (something I may get back to). It's not a character with any story to it just a drawing of a water dragon however I like how it came out in my note book. Who knows it may become digital, when I've dug up that pen! lol.
