I suck in drawing them. :(

Retl said...

I have this page bookmarked and tend to link my friends who ask about why I'm drawing ponies lately or how they can get into it. This is a valuable collection.

These are great resources. I just wish there was a male one.

Anonymous said...

Awesome!!

Though, does this appy when drawing male ponies?

ComTwoKForty said...

Male Ponies have a more flattened mouth.

TX2 said...

Still no help with the wings though. That's what I have the worst trouble with.

AquaDrop said...

I found this on Ponibooru a week or so ago - it's a deluxe pony reference sheet which I find helps me VERY much.

Hope I am able to help some fellow bronies!

Can someone please make some specific guides on how to draw the ponies in the series?

HA HA! TIME FOR PONIES!

Andrew "TX2" Turpel said...

Are there any tutorials for the wings?
I've been drawing ponies since October and I've never made any headway on the wings.

Yuri said...

This page is 100% win! My ponies thank you!

Kjh242 said...

This is amazing. I can actually draw Poni now! you don't want to see what I had before though. seriously.

Ricky said...

"KEEP THE NOSE TINY"

I read that in a Drill sergeant voice.

For those on the fence about trying to draw a pony: My teacher says that my writing is hardly legible but my first drawing came out amazing. Try it and i guarantee that it will come out better than you expected.

Robin said...

So . . uh . . . when will we get a pegasus wings tutorial? ;)

jaayro said...

I still think that the hardest part of a pony is the mouth/snout. Especially if it's smiling showing its' teeth, damn it's hard

Ivan-Chan said...

@Robin

In a bit, my young friend, in a bit... c;

Now my drawings are 20% cooler.

Anonymous said...

Could someone post the size proportion between a mare and a filly? thanks

Anonymous said...

This is very useful

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous
my first was crap also!
Then i read the guides, used references to draw another. 'It' looked bad.

And to those on the fence (like I was), as long as you don't try, you can still tell yourself that you might be able to draw a proper pony, but once you pick up that pencil, you can't fool yourself anymore.

^ never-mind my previous post, persistence is key.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
My first pony really awesome!!! Thank you!!!

Shadow The Hedgehog ( LyokoTravels ) said...

I'm gonna use these a lot even when I draw in Public , it's gonna be 20% Cooler ...

Derpy hooves said...

So is there a guide out there for doing manes? i cant seem to get them down pat :L whenever i draw the they look like ive stuck a mat on their heads...

Scorpionu95 said...

Truly the best tutorials on how to make a pony !
I just love this site ! :) :) :)

Aura said...

Hell yes. I figured EQD was the place to go for this. Practice shall be done.

Patrick M. said...

This will really boost me a lot. I just bought Manga Art Studio and might pick up a drawing tablet and this is exactly what I needed.

Eric said...

This looks useful. I'll definitely be using it.
Also, it looks like the "Poni coloring guide 3" link is broken.

zlyfire said...

Nice, I shall use these to make moat ponehs

Fleetwood_Brougham said...

This oughta help me with my dealership website!
Thank you so very much!

Rarity's Augar said...

Still having difficulty finding the drawing program everypony's using. I can only draw on paper so far. Vegeta pony FTW

KShrike said...

Has there ever been an update for this?

waffle911 said...

@Rarity's Augar Many people use different programs for their art. Many use Adobe Photoshop, or Illustrator for vectors. Others use free programs like Gimp, or Inkscape for vectors. Other programs artists common;y use include SAI, Art Rage, and Paintshop Pro, though I've never tried these myself.

JoPa04 said...

somepony posted a tutorial on how to make a unicorn magic glow thing http://zutheskunk.deviantart.com/art/Inkscape-Tutorial-Unicorn-s-Magic-Glow-283751963

Joshua Metz said...

So very useful. Anyone have a reference guide that show ponies from a large multitude of angles? I kind of stink at perspectives...

Thank you for posting these. They are most helpful...and useful!

Kayaana13 said...

huge thanks for this.

Hopefully there will be more leg tutorials...

SunshineFox said...

whichever pony posted the clothing tutorial if possible could you please check the link and/or re-upload it?

I was working from it the other day but didn't save a copy and now it says this...

"image cannot be displayed, it contains errors"

Rock said...

I'm wishing there was a chart depicting the proportional differences between male and female ponies. It's proved to be a major stumbling block when drawing OC ponies.

Lalala123 said...

I wish I had like a touch screen on a tablet so I could draw easily, but too bad I have to stick with my really small 3DS touch screen. =/

Chris Coleman said...

i wish there where some programs i could find that look better than gimp or something, i have a art tablet for my computer but no program to try and draw with thats good

Caitlyn K said...

Really good, but we need some tutorials for alicorns! (different wings and faces)

Erin Curran said...

Aaaagh can SOMEpony give me a decent tutorial on drawing Discord, Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalis!?!?!? IS THAT SO MUCH TO FREAKING ASK!?

benjamin webber said...

josh narciso said...

-btw, I have deviant art, account name is mlpWreck12345, it's a new account, I've been trying to draw mlp way better :3

Starfall said...

Wow, these are actually quite helpful.

MasterBrony117 said...

As great as these tutorials are, they do not apply well when drawing male ponies.

Kristina Klinge said...

@MasterBrony117
There's a difference? Man, this sucks... I was going to try my hand at this whole Bronies-thing and now I'm reading there's other versions... Ugh. Any idea where I can look for the male pony tutorials?

Daniel Aponte said...
