@,

 

Hello Thunder Bolt. The non-pony art category is mostly for exhibiting art that you create; it isn't necessarily the best place to ask a question about art. I have moved your thread into Creative Resources. Creative Resources is really the best place to ask this kind of question. Now, I'm going to try to point you in the right direction.

 

If you want to learn vectoring, then you can download Inkscape and follow these tutorials to get started. They were made by our very own :

If you would like to learn how to draw non-vector ponies, then you can grab Paint Tool SAI and follow these tutorials by @Ezynell:

Also, we have another fantastic tutorial on drawing ponies from our very own , which you can find right here.

 

And finally, if you would like to know about vector art, then check out this awesome post by .

 

I hope that these links are good enough to get you started.
