Help in making pony ocs in graphics programs

[Tao 6,706]

So I've posted this before and and got some feed back on drawing but what I want to get is some help in learning how to make ponies/ocs in using graphics programs/using bases and yes I tried to look up videos in how to make ponies in: inkscape. Now it mostly how to vector the ponies and their outlines, not make ocs and its the same in DA sadly.

 

I found one youtube video on how to use Paint but it just that, what I need to know is HOW? Like how to make manes/tails/color/shading/add in garments and such details! (No I will not use paint tool sai). If anyone can help me, give me some links maybe (also my glasses are broke which sucks...) or talk to

me a bit , I would love it! I want to make the graphics not just for myself but to help out other people get their ocs also made!

 

What Programs I have:

 

Inkscape (I Dont like this program, hows it laid out and how it works....Yes I have tried it...)

Gimp 2.8

Paint.net

Paint

 

Thanks Tao

Also the one to few  tutorials I did fine was on drawing or how to vector the pony from a image of the show sadly and I have been looking, and I can not find much also on DA which just seems to repeat on how to draw a pony or vector from a shot of the show...
