Drawing Ponies (tips)

Postby SpyPie » 17 Jul 2012 22:26

Alright, I've been doodling a lot lately (The camera doesn't work on my Webcam, just video, if you wanted to see them :P). I have a certain style, but I've been trying to draw MLP:FIM ponies in that style, while there is no particular difference in the style, I'm having trouble drawing Legs, I know it sounds nuts, as it is merely a small and rather simple part of the anatomy, but, Yeah, I'm having a bit of Trouble, If you can give me any Tips, I'd be happy to hear them :)

Thanks

I'll need to see your license and registration drawing first, before I can give you any real help.

Nope.
Get your video going and then screencap it.
That might work.

Tips for drawing ponies?

Draw everything, not just ponies. When you improve in drawing overall, you will improve at drawing ponies.

God looking at that second pair of legs is just painful. Legs aren't supposed to bend that way. But on topic, as Makkon said, it's best if you start by learning how to draw in general (the basics, line weight, geometric shapes) before getting to drawing ponies. But if you insist, you could just keep drawing and muscle it. You'll eventually improve at it.

This article really helped me out: http://www.reddit.com/r/MLPdrawingschoo ... ilding_in/

And don't feel bad. Most people trying to draw FiM style ponies run into the same issues:
- Scale of anatomy.
- Legs
- Muzzle

The above tutorial focuses on those 3 areas in pretty good depth.
DAW: Cubase 6.5, Ableton Live 8
Preferred Genre: Industrial/Trance
Hardware: Schecter Diamond Series Bass, Yamaha Acoustic Guitar, BP355 Effects Pedal, Keystudio 49K Keyboard, Akai APC40, Korg nanoKEY2 25k Keyboard

I've only tried to draw a FiM pony once, but after I reach some goals I want to get back into drawing. I find this thread useful for future reference.
