Description As promised, the long awaited tutorial on MLP : FIM!

This first part is simply on structure and using refs. I thought about jumping in and drawing the pony step by step, but I didn't figure you guys would get as much out of it. Now that you get the idea of the process, the next bit should help you out more!

Next: The Head (coming soon, only on EllisPONY)

Nice tutorial, actually using it to try and draw my own pony... Do the male ponies have more squareish heads?

AnarchisThinker [2011-10-18 13:30:14 +0000 UTC]

This is actually a very nice way of drawing ponies. I've had one way of doing it, but it was inefficient and I could only do it mostly sideways without screwing it up.
