Idiot Writer Guide to Horse Riding

First thing: horses are not bikes or cars. They are large, emotional animals with opinions. If they don’t trust the rider, everything gets harder.

Mounting is awkward. Even experienced riders don’t look graceful every time. Missing the stirrup happens. Especially under stress.

Riding is physical work. Thighs burn, hands cramp, lower back aches. Beginners feel it in minutes, not hours.

Horses spook. Sudden noises, shadows, smells—anything can set them off. A startled horse doesn’t politely wait for instructions.

Speed has limits. You cannot gallop forever. Horses overheat, tire, and need breaks or they risk injury.

Stopping is not instant. Horses need distance to slow down. Pulling hard just makes things worse.

Terrain matters a lot. Mud, rocks, steep hills, ice, forests, crowds—each changes how fast and safely you can ride.

Falling hurts. Even a short fall can knock the wind out, break bones, or leave a rider stunned and slow to get up.

Horses get injured too. Strained legs, thrown shoes, sore backs—an injured horse may refuse to move at all.

Bond beats skill. A calm horse with a trusting rider is safer than a powerful horse with someone it doesn’t know.

Fear travels both ways. If the rider panics, the horse feels it and reacts.

Long rides leave evidence. Chafing, stiffness, sore muscles, raw hands—nobody rides all day and looks fine.

Talking while riding is hard. Breath bounces, voices break, and shouting is common at faster speeds.

If the rider is unconscious or dead, the horse doesn’t magically keep going toward the destination.

there are so many more effective, consistent and convenient ways to do this but I usually go about it the basic way mostly because detailing lace can be so therapeutic most of the time lmao

As someone who was alive when Bob Ross (and William Alexander before him — that’s where the approach is from) was on PBS, I can 100% testify that you can paint along with him.

You may need to learn how to set up your paints and such… but this is what people did, live, while the show aired. That’s what the show was for. I had family members create lovely works of art they enjoyed, which I still have on my walls, because William Alexander and Bob Ross both said:

SCREW METICULOUS CLASSICAL ART PRACTICES — JUST GRAB A PALETTE KNIFE AND BIG OLD BRUSH AND PAINT!

They freed a whole generation of people who were taught to paint detail and realism and exact representation of reality — people who largely gave up this kind of thing because it got tedious.

I watched the joy of family members as they rediscovered art as a messy fun spontaneous half hour activity.

Give it a try.

You probably get asked this a lot, but how do you draw hands? Even when I'm tracing, they look so weird 🙃

I could probably go on and on and on about hands, but here are some key points I compiled! I LOVE drawing hands, and I never hesitate to use my own as a reference

__________________

Quick step by step originally asked by @floatingmegane-san and @suke1234.( thanks for asking! )

i doesn’t really explain anythin’ but that’s how i do it !

I added two quick color palettes and an exemple (a kind of honey bear made for school )

OK SO this is how I showed perspective to a student that was having difficulty visualizing it

Draw the buddy

Use a transformation tool (usually ctrl + click on the small squares)

fill it up like a balloon not forgetting some things cover others

Keep going! That way you keep your proportions right, etc

And don’t forget references for the angles (which I didn’t use here hahah)

EDIT: Keep in mind this is just a way of sketching things easier, not a fool proof perspective drawing method. If you are studying art seriously please do not skip any steps on groundwork and take time to learn the basics, observe nature and references and really grind for that xp, okay? Take care and good luck on your journey!
