Start with basic shapes: an oval for the main head and two rounded triangles for the ears. Carefully mark out the eyes, nostrils, and mouth to maintain accurate proportions. Use a variety of pencils from HB for softer shades to 2B for darker shadows. Focus on texture and volume; use short pencil strokes to mimic hair flow around the mane and jaw. Capture the horse's essence in the eye detail through simulated reflections and shading nuances.
