AURAequine's guide on drawing ponies ^-^ (Side view)

[Hazy Skies 1,010]

After seeing a friend on here draw and share his art, I though I'd make a guide here on how I draw MLP ponies
 
Before the guide, i would like to recommend "The art of Equestria" to anyone who would like to read it ^-^
 
The art of Equestria image:

 
It's a great book with insight as to how everything is drawn and designed, as well as a look into the concepts of characters.. There is a page in this book which helped me to learn how they are drawn, some of which i included in my guide..
 
Now without further ado, here is my guide.. In the form of worded images:
 
STEP 0 - What you will need..

STEP 1 - Head and proportion lines: http://i.imgur.com/TIrTnpA.png
