Description I started this ages ago but never got around to add the finishing details until now.
I actually had an old "How to draw MLPs" tutorial up on my abandoned site but it's ooold and I wanted something better that I could post here on DA. I know a lot of my watchers are My Little Pony fans so here's a little something for you all English is not my native language but hopefully this will be simple and understandable enough(I had *LazyJenny read through it and help me with my little spelling errors ).

Oh, and I'm not saying this is the only way to draw a MLP and I do like it when people develop their own styles instead of copying mine so this is basically just a little something to get you started. Maybe someone, somewhere will find something useful in it

Thank you all for your support!
Without your uplifting comments and faves I would not even have bothered to make this

What a great tutorial! Simple to follow, but gives a great result. I might have to try it myself sometime!

Thank you! Haha, you're already so familiar with the equine anatomy so you shouldn't have any problems drawing a pony seeing as they are simplified horses I'd love to see you try it

I need this for the hair.... I am TERRIBLE with doodling hair. It always looks too stiff.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I do have a pic up which served for practice... two actually. One is a MLP pic... customs, if you will. Here's the link. I'd like to know how it turned out.

looks amazing!

- do you always draw your ponies this way or do you nowadays more like draw on free hand?

AnnieMsson In reply to Gwendelyn [2010-10-10 11:38:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

Since I've been drawing ponies for so long I can do it freehand but I still like using circles sometimes because it does make things easier. I use circular forms on most stuff that I draw, so it's not only for ponies

Gwendelyn In reply to AnnieMsson [2010-10-24 08:26:34 +0000 UTC]

yeah sometimes it is easier when you can do that... I do that when I try to draw humans.

Åh vad fint du gjort det! En annan är ju också en "bolltecknare", det imponerande är hur du får även "bollbilder" att se extravaganta ut!

Wait, I thought the finished piece was inked and coloured in the computer......right?

AnnieMsson In reply to reality7068 [2010-09-29 12:43:03 +0000 UTC]

Nope, I almost always do my lineart by hand since I can't draw lineart in the computer. I did add some color to it with the computer though
