This text provides detailed instructions on drawing horses in perspective. It explains the geometric principles and techniques necessary for depicting a horse from various angles, specifically from the front and rear. The instructions include creating rectangles and arranging squares to guide the proportions and orientation of the horse's features.

The method of drawing the Horse in perspective.
To draw a horse from the front, you must create a rectangle as shown, ensuring it is one third as wide as A.B.C.D. and then enlarge it similarly for the top as E.F. and place a rectangle at A.B.C.D. divided into three equal parts like A.G. H.G. Next, apply to the top and bottom A.H. the same method as above using E.A. G.A.B. You'll find points at 1 on top, from which you'll create the same square; as seen in the example where you draw the head, as shown, then use the squares H.G.L.M.GC similarly marked as E.F.G.H. I.K.L.M. to illustrate the body, and the corresponding quadrants G.M. C.D. and feet in C. F. D.E.
To draw a horse from behind, the same method applies, setting up the same square E.L. as in the previous example; this is for the rear of the horse, placed along line N.O. as seen for the front. or in balance perpendicular to the ground in square Y.C. 4. 5. of the previous example, keeping in mind that the square N.O.Q. shows the front edge will align with quarter P. N. 7. M. A., and the view similar to illustration. Use 7. 6. 6. to find all manner of reductions.
The knowledge of this technique lets you apply perspective effortlessly, achieving depth through artistic competence. The foundational point is A.B. and the horizontal line above which the distances are shown in the example.
The Way a Man Should Draw the Horse From the Front and Rear Using Geometry.
To depict a horse from the front, create a rectangle elongated like this example and one third as broad: A.B.C.D. Increase the dimensions similarly below, as E.F., and divide the base rectangle into three equal parts like A.H. G. Position at top and bottom the same as above E.A. & B.A. with point locations at 1. Inside these will draw the head using rectangles resulting from this division of A.G., marked with X.O.O.O., draw the limbs within squares G.M. C.D., feet at C.F. D. E. matching the prefacing alphabet lettering squares within. Similarly, employ the technique for the rear, using a square rectangle; proceed with L.O. N. line drawn a similar fashion with previous carried division Y.C. 4. 5. of the earlier example with better understanding the arts’ forged construction at point A. B., where perspective drawing height is executed.
How to Draw the Horse From the Front and Back According to the Practice of Surveying.
To draw the horse from the front or back, the conclusion comes near, and begins with a long line (style); set down broadly fashioned elements in alignment like this B. 3. N. 3. and marked. Use a stance position in L. added top of temperance in calibration, loyal with code secured, emerging men can understand. Seek harmony in equated grace E., as close out K. clarifies this E. 8. perfectly then innovate D. 9.
