This drawing involves both the horse and its environment. Start by sketching the horse, then build the background with light pencil strokes to add trees and bushes. Use varying shades to create depth in the forest scene, and ensure the horse is the focal point by giving it brighter contrast.
This combination not only hones skills in animal drawing but also landscape composition. Balancing animal and background helps artists learn about perspective and environmental context, making it an enriching exercise for intermediate skill levels.
