Description As promised, the long awaited tutorial on MLP : FIM!

This first part is simply on structure and using refs. I thought about jumping in and drawing the pony step by step, but I didn't figure you guys would get as much out of it. Now that you get the idea of the process, the next bit should help you out more!

Next: The Head (coming soon, only on EllisPONY)

Heheh. I remember when I was just starting out as a fan artist and looked for tutorials like these. I can say that this was one of the more insightful ones as you did the right thing that other tutorials do not do - use references.

I'm also writing my own set of tutorials now. Kinda dissapoint that you didn't write any farther than this one and only tutorial you wrote.

Lol are you kidding? There's always gonna be people who are looking for some help but not everyone has the time to give some help. Besides, if you ask me personally, too many pony drawing tutorials were pretty lacking anyways as they always focus on the process but hardly the ends.

well, you were right to copy it into your signature, it pretty much explains it all, when it comes down to men

well let's face it how many times did you think that this qoute was accurate with the men in your life(not just partner(s) or boyfriends, but every guy you know)

Ezera In reply to ShadowSketch91 [2012-12-20 09:20:07 +0000 UTC]

WELL!

first of all, never had a boyfriend. the only guy i've really been that close to to notice was a childhood friend of mine.

but yeah, it does reign accurately when describing most men.
