Description Ok guys, here it is.

I tried my hardest to break it down step by step for you guys. I hope this helps anyone who needs it!

---
In depth description here:

Step 1: The Coat
-3 Colors to fill in the Coats pattern

The darkest color will be your outline
the dark color is your shading
the lighter color is your main coat color.

Step 2: The Eyes
-4 Colors minimum, for me I prefer to color the outline so I use 5 colors.

:bulletpruple:Make sure your colors make sense, don't mix up colors, it will look awkward.
Exp: Making the lighter color purple, and the highlight yellow. That would look weird. Do not do that

Step 3 The Mane
-This is the easiest part for me, but I am not you am I?

Make an outline using the thinnest line possible, I used the curve tool on Ms Paint. The curve tool is located on the toolbar at the top of your screen, next to he straight line tool. (Varies depending on what version of Windows you have; I have WIndows 7)
Create another set of lines similar to your first outline, make sure it is not too far away or else your outline will be to thick.
*Its ok to have an inconsistent thickness sometimes, but make sure its not too varied
Fill in the lines so you have a nice thick outline, make sure to fill in any blank spots so you have a fully filled in outline.
Now fill in the whole thing using the color you want. You can add the hair detail that makes it more like the show or drawings. Its not a requirement, but I think it looks nicer

Step 4- The Tail
-To me, the Tail is the hardest part yo.

Make an outline in the pattern you want, similar to how you started on the mane.
Create another set of lines similar to the first one.
Fill it all in, no empty spaces in the outline.
Fill it all in with the main color and bam, tail is finished.

Step 5- Cutie Mark
- Have fun with this one! Cutie marks are all up to you yo.

THis is the part where you add all your accessories and things.
---
Thats it I suppose, if you have any questions please let me know.

I would like to say this is a tutorial so its free to use. You like the design of the pony? Use it. I don't care, she is just a thing I made for this.

Anyway, have fun!

My problems were never the manes, but just actually changing the original color of the base to a different one?

SwedishX25 [2013-05-01 05:21:21 +0000 UTC]

I always seem to have the most trouble with the mane and tail. Maybe I just need more practice, but they always just seem wobbly.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Ms-Paint-Base In reply to SwedishX25 [2013-05-01 05:22:30 +0000 UTC]

I used to be like that to, I am still with the tail.

The trick is to practice and know what the right tool is for you. I Personally like to use MS Paint and the curve tool.
