Description Alright, me hearties! What we have here is a treasure map!

...


Screw it. Anyways, on with the tutorial.

Step 1) Start out by drawing guidelines, one big circle for the head, two smaller circles for the body, and even smaller circle for the hind leg. Each circle is about one-third the size of the last, so that should give you a good size estimate. For the legs, draw straight lines for the front legs, and draw the hind legs accordingly. Notice that Lines A and B are approximately the same size.

Step 2) Flesh out the body! No, seriously. You'll notice that in my example, the right front leg is raised. I did this to demonstrate how you should REFRAIN from using sharp angles when drawing ponies. Nopony like sharp angles, ya got that?? Anyways, you'll also notice that I draw ears with a bit of a point, much like and elf's. That is simply my style, if you want to draw it normally, go right ahead.

Step 3) Add the mane, tail, and cutie mark! You can draw the eyes normally, too, if you wish.

**I also included a quick guide on how to draw the front view.

Well, it was a quick tutorial whipped up in tap class, but I hope it helps!









And remember, I am not a brony.











Oh, yeah!

..Right??

Why, thank you! Glad you like it. I may need to work on the eye shape, though...

In what sense? Making it more show accurate?

Well, sort of. That, and I tend to screw up on the eyelashes.

If you want show-accuracy, isn't it better to draw from references?

Plus, it might be useful to know that I've also been writing tutorials. I've been snooping around other people's tutorials just to make sure I wasn't missing anything

Not sure how useful you'll find it though.

No, it seems pretty darn useful to me.

I just have to fix the eyelashes and the shape of the eye.

Thanks!

She wants to befriend the creatures in Canterlot's gardens, but they do nothing but to be scared and keep running away. Then she plots a trap to capture them. Doesn't quite work, but she goes insane.
