Hello everyone! Today I decided to do a tutorial on how to draw ponies :) This is my first tutorial so it may not be as good, hehe...

This is what I did to get better at drawing at them, and maybe, this tutorial will help you to :D

So, lets begin!

1. Learn the anatomy of a real horse. What I did to learn how to draw ponies is learn the anatomy of a real horse! What I did is usually traced a picture of a real horse, it helped me learn the anatomy, and it will defidently help you! Here are some example pictures you can use to get started on :)

2. Learn the anatomy of the mlp cartoon horse. After I learned the anatomy of the real horse, I used it to help draw MLP Characters. It helped me by learning certain guide lines, like the legs and hooves, and it also helped me get my own certain style! Here is an example picture

3. Use guide lines. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART! Guide lines are your best friends, if you use them, you will know where you want to put something, like the leg, or the face.

4. Watch MLP Episodes. Sounds weird? Well, watching episodes will help you learn the movement, poses, ect. Trust me :P

And, finally, number 5. Practice, Practice, Practice! Practicing every day will help you big time, trust me! Don't give up, just keep practicing, I recommend learning on how to draw ponies by using paper first, because digital is a little hard.

So

I hopes this helps the beginners, and like I said, don't give up, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :D

Just a note: Rainbow's mane is too short on the bridle gossip one when she's all like 'put 'em up!'. Her mane doesn't go halfway to her neck, it goes all the way to the end of her belly.
