How To Draw Pinkie Pie!

Today I'll be showing you step by step on how to draw a Pinky Pie vector via Sai.

This is what helps you, click on the blank piece of paper to begin~

Make yourself a color chart of the character's colors, it comes as very useful!

After making your color chart, make two layers above the chart, one regular layer and one with the pen and paper icon called, "Linework".

You now will use the curve tool or pen tool of the Linework layer. Don't worry if your lines turn out to be squiggly or jagged, the program will either attempt to straighten them or you can manually edit the nods by clicking edit and select, "Translate CP".

You want to begin by drawing the head of Pinky Pie, note that the tips are not fringed yet.

Combine the two layers. By using the eraser tool, you can define the tips and make them into points.

Add her nostril and define her ear.

Time to make the body! Note that the tips are already fringed.

Don't forget the left legs!

Time to color Pinky Pie, make a new layer under the Linework and create a regular layer, make sure your Bucket settings are exactly like this.

So now your Pinky Pie is colored!

First, make an outline of the eyes, then define it with the eraser tool and add her lashes.

Create a regular layer under the lashes and outline and use your pentool to create circles. Size 16 is preferred.

If your circles come out jaggedy, use the eraser tool to smoothen it out.

Make a regular layer before the pupil and after the blue, make a thick line on the left of her eye, then on the right. Then add a lighter and thinner line under it. If you desire to detail it, use the airbrush tool under the pupil to lighten it up. But only slightly. After this, add her under lashes.

You're half way done!

blogentry-7511-0-73988200-1346214206.png

Now lets begin with her hair.

blogentry-7511-0-24561000-1346214207.png

After you make the outline of her hair, erase the areas of her that are inside the outlines.

 

blogentry-7511-0-82800200-1346214207.png

Add Pinky's fun little squigglies at 3x on the pen/curves tool.

 

blogentry-7511-0-22898200-1346214209_thumb.png

Then add color to her hair.

 

 

blogentry-7511-0-75838500-1346214209.png

Next is the tail, have fun with how puffy the lines get.

 

blogentry-7511-0-24454000-1346214210.png

Again, add the swirlies.

 

blogentry-7511-0-70827700-1346214211_thumb.png

Almost done~

blogentry-7511-0-84650300-1346214212.png

Last but not least, the cutiemark! Outline the balloons, color them, then add the strings on the bottom.

There you have it! Your very own Pinkie Pie!
