Description A friend asked me to make a tut on how to draw in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic style. I'm no expert, but I figured this would be useful for anyone wanting to pull off the style.

I love seeing all the ways people in this fandom draw their ponies that all end in similar effects.

Not everyone does their ponies in the same way, from start to finish, yet everyone manages to meet the exact same style original to the show in the end. :3 It's very intriguing, and it's a perfect example of how so many different artists, and so many different tactics can still reach the same conclusion.

Ah, yes. lol. At first I was like... 'uh, it's meant to be in the style of the show...' But yes, if you observe the show well enough, you can pick out how to draw the style fairly easily. xB;; Helps to be a good observer too. haha.

I will probably draw them in my own style eventually too. xD;

Tis quite interesting for sure.

XDD Yes, not what I meant. Just that everyone reaches the same conclusion. I think you draw them wonderfully though I'd love to see them in your own style!

Really Nice! It's slightly more realistic than the show's style, but still really recognizable. I really wish you wished you showed more angles! I found the link below, maybe you could post it in your description? It really helps with other angles.

Ah, useful link! =3 Very cool. Thx!

Aha, cool. I'm usually able to copy cartoon styles as I'm watching them, but MLP:FIM has so much motion and isn't afraid to show things from difficult angles. I'll definitely by watching for more tutorials <3!

tutorials are always helpful, i've been having trouble drawing ponyes, mostly because i'm not on the animal anatomy thing, very nice work!

Well, their anatomy is very simplified, but it does help to know a little. xD GL with your drawing!

ty for making it! Now others may make their own OC ponies >3<

harryhorsetoy [2011-04-30 06:50:36 +0000 UTC]

Great tutorial! I sort of have the style worked out... it's just the hair I can't do. xD

odduckoasis In reply to harryhorsetoy [2011-04-30 06:54:32 +0000 UTC]

lol. Should I do a separate tut for the extras? Like, hair and wings and the horns? lol. xD;;

harryhorsetoy In reply to odduckoasis [2011-04-30 06:56:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, maybe, if you don't mind... xD
I can do hair like RD's, Twilight's, AJ's, but I can't do Rarity's or Pinkie Pie's... more complex hair.

I can do wings and horns though... eaaaasyyy.

Some people struggle at wings though, I guess, so they'd be good in a tutorial too!

odduckoasis In reply to harryhorsetoy [2011-04-30 08:19:05 +0000 UTC]

*nod* Rarity and Pinkie Pie's hair has to do with a lot of curls. xD;; It does take a little bit of work. haha.

I could do that. xB
