Out of the mane six, who is the easiest to draw; and who is the hardest to draw?

 

In my opinion, Fluttershy is the easiest. Her mane and eyes are really simple and fun to draw.

As for the hardest, that would be Rarity. She's still fun to draw, but it takes me a couple tries to get her mane and tail right. Her eyes are a tad complicated, too.

Twilight is the easiest to draw. She has a very simple to draw mane.

For me, Rarity is the hardest. It takes me forever to get her mane somewhat show accurate. :(

Can't say I've ever drawn a picture of a pony that isn't Rarity, but I've always heard she's the hardest :D Hey, she works hard on her style, so the artists probably get a bit of a taste of how much work she puts into her appearance :D

 

As for the easiest, I'd have to say that looks like it'd be Rainbow Dash. Her mane and tail look relatively generic and flat, and I'm assuming we're talking about a standing pose, not flying :D Twilight looks pretty easy too, though.

 

I've only ever drawn Rarity, though, so I'm judgi by appearance on the easiest ones :D I could be very wrong.

Rarity is definitely the hardest to draw. The one time I drew her I swear I spent an hour on her mane and tail alone. As for easiest...I think I'd have to say Applejack since, apart from her hat which isn't that hard to do, there's nothing overly complicated about her design.

The most difficult to draw is rarity, hands down. As anyone else will say, her mane and tail are difficult. Applejacks hat is more challenging than it seems, but it is certainly no match for Rarity's hair.

 

As for easiest, for me it is a toss up between Twilight sparkle and Fluttershy. I find Fluttershy easier to draw, but I also draw her more than the other 5. Objectively, I would have to say Twilight Sparkle because of how simple her mane and tail are.

The hardest to draw for me is Applejack. I still don't have a decent drawing of her.

 

I'd say the easier is probably Rarity. Her mane isn't all that tough once you've drawn her enough times.

Fluttershy's the easiest to draw. Her wavy mane and tail are simple to draw.

 

The hardest is Rarity. Thanks to her mane and tail I usually have to alter it for my drawing needs. Although her mane does look pretty. :P

I've drawn Rainbow Dash enough to the point where she's relatively easy to draw.

Rarity on the other hand is a nightmare to draw for me.  Her mane and tail are ridiculously difficult to draw decently.

Good grief Rarity is the hardest for sure. Her mane and tail always give me so much trouble it's insane XD

 

For me, having drawn probably equal amounts of every pony, I'd say Pinkie, to be honest. Her bouncy mane is all curves, and you can pretty much accomplish it in one line. Twilight's fringe and getting the stripes right are difficult, Applejack has a hat, Rainbow Dash has a bunch of stripes of colour in her mane and Fluttershy's mane shape tends to be hard for me to get looking right.

From the two ponies I've drawn so far (Raindow Dash and Twilight Sparkle)

I can say that Twilight is the one, because of her wings and cutie mark which is very tough to reproduce perfectly

They all have their pros and cons, but the hardest is Rarity, because getting the gradients right in her mane and tail are next to impossible.

Depends on quality needed.  If you're willing to make her somewhat less three-d Rarity is actually not that hard for me [Her hairdo is mostly rectangles at odd angles and then put curves in].

 

Pinkie Pie radiant was the hardest pic I had to make.  Getting her normal joy up a notch and not psychotic took a few tries.

 

Truly for me; hardest pony is base-pony with wings.

Same easiest pony for me. I've never tried Rarity but I've heard she's really hard.

Apple Jacks hat is so hard! Twilight is easiest for me. I've never drawn Rarity or Fluttershy.

Dashies the easiest you cant really mess up her mane its supposed to be messy,

the hardest would be Rarity but maybe Applejack because of that hat.

oh wow, didn't know so many people had trouble drawing rarity, well i can agree she has quite a challenging mane but really in terms of time spent drawing each i found twilight to be the hardest, mostly because she has both wings and a horn. and her mane isn't just 1 color. 

 

and i thought a lot more people would have chosen AJ for easiest to draw, though i can see how fluttershy is also an easy one


i've been drawing for 3 years now practicing dragons and ponies
i'd love it if you could check out my Deviantart or Tumblr.
