Bleh. I suppose my main problem is trying to draw anatomy, memorization, and getting the "feel" of the perspective correct. I simply have no idea on how to do this. I can copy existing poses from other artists, but making original art is neigh impossible for such a novice such as myself.
I know a few basics back in Art class, but I would like to create something more original than just a copied picture.
I seem to do fine when drawing on physical paper with a Num2. pencil, but using a tablet such as the Android Galaxy 8.0 notepad, and the existing applications...
A pain, to say the least. Everything feels so horribly off. I have no idea where to even start.

Drawing with other applications is hard. I don't blame you! It certainly takes a lot of practice! I use a Bamboo Fun drawing tablet. (: It's like a real pen and paper! So it was relatively easy to get used to it. Not at first though!
Anatomy is hard. Even in this tutorial i see now that my anatomy was very bad! I've improved a lot since then and it just goes to show you that practice really really does wonders! I always start with the head, ear, then neck and body. I use lots of circles when drawing. You just need to practice, i promise, it will help you eventually! (:

It is. Mine was a special edition though that was $168 or so. There are other options though, like Paint Tool Sai! Which i believe is under $100. (:

I saw someone's really cute art and asked them to use it once i'd put it together. (: It's just a little animation in Photoshop!

Let me find it for you! The person's deviantArt is here: [link]
And the Tumblr post with the actual art of hers on her blog is here: [link]
The Princesses were in another post on a brony website that i found, i made it into an icon first and then sought out the artist (my mistake) but she let me use them. (: They're absolutely adorable!

With the brush tool in Photoshop. I use 100% hardness and i use quick swipes so the line is smooth. Unfortunately, there are no stabilizers in Photoshop like in Sai :c So it makes it harder.

Hooray! That looks great! I'm so glad you found my tutorial useful! (: I wanted to make one giant mass tutorial that included drawing ponies, mares and stallions and fillies, from scratch, then lineart, then color, and finishing touches. It would be a flash tutorial! I haven't had time to start planning it yet but i hope to soon! I'm so excited to start that project. (:>

Right on! I look forward to it, I think it would be an absolutely amazing idea and I would utilize it greatly. My friend made a MLP: Role-playing is Magic group and they'd like me to draw their characters, I wouldn't mind being able to do a few different poses and make them each look unique.

This is awesome! It's simple and easy to understand for even a beginner drawer like me. With this I've been able to draw many ponies over the past few days and improve my drawing skills in general (I'm still not great though!). Thank you so much!
