Hello everyone and welcome to drawing tutorial about how to draw a centaur step by step. Centaurs in ancient Greek mythology are wild mortal creatures with the head and torso of a man on the body of a horse, the inhabitants of mountains and forest thickets, accompany Dionysus and are distinguished by violent disposition and intemperance.

 

Step 1

So, first of all sketch out the skeleton of our centaur, which consists of simple geometric figures. The head, the thoraxes (yes, our centaur has two chests) and the pelvis are drawing in the form of ovals. Then draw the spine, limbs, and the tail with simple lines.

Step 2

Add volume to our centaur also using simple geometric figures. At first sketch out the lines on the face. Then proceed to the body and add some volume to the centaur. Sketch out the bow and arrow in his arms. Note that we use very light lines in the first and second steps.
