What is your least favorite thing about drawing a pony?

[Slice0Pie 815]

In other words, what do you hate when it comes to drawing a My Little Pony?

I usually hate the necks, face, and legs. Everything else is usually fine.

[BlackDash 19]

Face and facial features sometimes they can be really hard but it's still so much fun

[Neon Fire 473]

I hate drawing certain mains like Rarity's or Twilight's.

[Blue Moon 6,341]

I despise drawing the muzzle. I always mess it up, and I can never get it just right. And it's a shame, as I can usually draw the rest of the pony fairly well. Though, I guess certain types of manes give me a bit of trouble (e.g. Twilight's mane. Curse that mane.)

[Seaweed-Headed Dragon 359]

Tails, I always mess up on tails....

Also the body, It can't make it proportional to the head XD 

 

<================= that's why .I always draw ponies like this without the body

 

Oh the other hand I love drawing eyes.

 

Yep I draw oldschool style, you know..pencil and paper

Every time I try to draw a pony it comes out like this:

 

(EDIT: That's supposed to be Rainbow Dash, of course)

I hate it whenever I try to freehand, my pony comes out all crooked and distorted. 

[Stancet 689]

I don't like fixing my mistakes when getting the proportions just right. I actually love the pony-figure but I guess I haven't done it enough to get the hang of it yet.

 

The only other thing I hate is reference. I haven't been able to draw a pony from my memory alone because of all the fine details, but I still love it.

Every time I try to draw a pony it comes out like this:

 

(EDIT: That's supposed to be Rainbow Dash, of course)

 

 

 ... I don't exactly see how that's supposed to be Rainbow Dash, but okay.

But that's the whole point.

[Demirari 454]

It's the facial expression for me, the face counts a lot. If your ponies facial expression is wrong, it will ruin the entire drawing. You just got to raise or lower those eyes correctly.

The legs. In particular, the legs in regards to perspective...I'm rather bad at perspective in general. *puts on to-practice list*

[Darkestnight 1]

The eyes i always have a hard time drawing them.

[PoisonClaw 8,166]

The legs mess me up every time. I can do the rest of the body just fine, but I easily spend hours just trying to get limbs to look right. You name it, I've drawn the legs like that: too long, too short, really thin, really thick or simply drawn in a way that looks like the leg is broken in three places.  

[TheYoungMathProf 11]

I won't claim to be an artist yet (I have very little experience, although I did draw the sketch that is my profile), but so far it is the legs and eyes, as well as slight proportions (I get close, but not quite perfect). I think I just need to take time to draw individual parts until it comes natural to put them together.

[AfTeRwArDs 509]

Rarity's tail, man. It's got like, those three curls there, and it's friggin impossible to get them to look right. I've gotten better at it of course, but I still remember my intense frustration trying to draw it for the first time xD

 

Other than that though, the facial proportions usually take a couple tries to get them just right, since y'know, faces are everything. I usually don't worry too much with bodily proportions (though I have gotten better with those too), and legs are fairly easy. Cutie marks are sometimes a problem; I tend to make them too big and have to erase them and make them smaller.

 

So, there you have it. My thoughts on the difficulties of drawing ponies.

[Argent Artique 47]

For me, it's usually making something that is custom and original.  Something that there is no reference to use as.  So you have to make some sort of bare-bones, then work around that, do some minor tweaks just so it can look good.  Another thing are eyes, positioning them correctly, making appropriately proportionate sizes as well; trying to make them not look derped out.

[K-Kopp 5]

Hardest part for me is getting the eyes to look right. My eraser goes through a lot of abuse trying to get the eyes perfect.

[Squeaky Clean 33]

The hardest part for me is the face in general. The muzzle, the eyes, etc. They take forever for me to get to look right.

[Dsanders 5,748]

It's always usually the eyes and muzzle that's the hardest to draw. Takes me the longest and it ends up being the most frustrating moments for me in drawing ponies. The eyes mean everything in drawing a pony, at least from my experience. Because even if you make just the littlest mistake in sketching out the pupils and the little white lenses effect in the eyes, it's gonna end up being completely off, and as a result, I usually end up with a derpy-eyed pony because of it.

 

Of course, no offense to Derpy Hooves, because she's freakin adorable the way she is!

[Super Derpy 535]

The legs. Ugh the legs. I always make them unnaturally long and I end up spending so long on the legs every single time.

[Frosty Flurry 173]

i mess up proportions such as the length of the body and neck and legs

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

I find the neck is the hardest part for me. Connecting the hooves to the muzzle (neck), I always mess this part up. Everything else about the pony is relatively easy for me to draw though. The muzzle may give me a little big of trouble every now, and then. Some manes are a pain to draw too.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

The body itself, making it the right size compared to the head.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

Proportions are the worst.

 

I always mess up on them.

 

Other than that,hooves are a big pain in the ass.

[Phoenix237 353]

The head in general

I can do the rest of the body fine, but if the head isn't right then it all goes downhill

Also I would say my lines look wobbly and I have to constantly edit when drawing digitally, but I havn't practiced enough drawing on a tablet so that's not a real issue.
