How to draw a pony step by step

Today we are with you let's draw a cute pony step by step. The task, at first glance, may seem too simple, but this diagram is the basis of the process of drawing a realistic horse, only in a more complex form. You will learn to build the “skeleton” of a drawing and measure scale with lines. You will need:

- pencil (the softer the better);

- two sheets of paper (ordinary printer paper will do);

- ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen (for dark lines).

You don't need an eraser!

  1. DRAW A PONY'S TORSOM

Step 1

Take a piece of paper. Mentally imagine an oval and transfer it to the paper, without pressing too hard on the pencil. Don't draw everything with a solid line. Try drawing with short dotted lines.


This will be the chest

Step 2

Divide the oval into two equal parts. If you don't know how, here's one way:

Determine the center of the oval and mark it with a dot. Then draw one point on the right and left, on the line of the oval. Connect them with a line - you have just divided the oval in half.

Step 3

Draw a circle next to the oval. Make it slightly smaller than an oval.


This will be the back of the horse

Step 4

Now connect both shapes with two curves. The horse's body is ready!


  1. DRAWING PONY LEGS

Step 1

First draw two lines to determine the correct location for the horse's legs. The first one (here: left) should be at the front of the oval. The second should pass through the closing half of the circle.


Step 2

Mark the points where both lines intersect the torso (1) and the intended ground (2). Do you see the lines between these points? Mark the middle of each one.


Step 3

Now mark the midpoints of the resulting segments.

Step 4

These marks will help us correctly identify all the parts of each leg. We can draw lines to indicate the width of each:

  1. Base of Hoof: The longer this line, the more the pony will look like a cartoon.
  2. Top of the hoof: make it shorter than the first line.
  3. "Knee": even shorter than the second line.
  4. Elbow: make it longer than line 1.

Step 5

Now draw the lines into an oval or circle:

— Hoof and “elbow” — into an oval

- “Knee” - in a circle.

Step 6

Now we have enough lines to draw the hooves:

Step 7

To draw the lower part of the legs, connect the hooves and knee joints. If you want to make them more natural, connect them with curved lines.

Step 8

Now connect the knee and elbow bend, as well as the hoof and the back of the body.


  1. DRAW A PONY HEAD

Step 1

Start from the neck - draw one curved line.

Step 2

Draw a tangent line to the neck. This will be the base of the head.

Step 3

Write a tangent line in two circles: a larger one (head) and a smaller one (muzzle).

Step 4

Draw the eye, nose and smile.

Step 5

Connect the two circles with soft lines to complete the head.

Step 6

Now connect the head and torso with two lines similar to the neck line.


  1. ADDING DETAILS TO OUR PONY

Step 1

To draw the ear, draw a line from the center of the head.

Step 2

Then connect it to the head - you will get a “crooked triangle”.

Step 3

Draw the mane in any style.

Step 4

To start drawing the tail, draw a circle to the back of the body.

Step 5

Draw a curved line to indicate the position of the tail.

Step 6

Draw an oval that includes the line of the tail.

Step 7

Now you can connect all the lines for the tail.

  1. COMPLETING THE FIGURE

Step 1

The base is ready! From this moment the real drawing begins. Take a ballpoint pen (or something that leaves dark lines) and trace the sketch. At this point you can mask any errors.

Step 2

Take a second sheet of paper and place it on top of the first. You will see the sketch lines underneath the top sheet. If you don't see them, hold the drawing up to the window.

Step 3

Let's get back to drawing. This time we will be working on the final version of the picture, so be careful. You can also draw with darker lines.

Trace the contour of the body.

Step 4

Define the hooves with two simple lines.

Step 5

Draw the mane and tail. If you want, you can add lines to make them fluffier.

Step 6

Outline the eye, nose and smile. Add a highlight to the eye.

Step 7

Darken the eye and nose with small circles.

Step 8

Now you can remove the bottom sheet of paper and finish the drawing. For example, you can add wool (with short strokes along the contour). You can also add another pair of legs.

Congratulations!

You did it! But this is not the end! Remember that stage when we drew the hooves, “knees” and “elbows”? This is important for the next part of the same lesson, in which we will !

The lesson is translated from the site design.tutsplus.com.

Welcome to the next lesson. Today's lesson will be devoted to drawing ponies from the cartoon "Friendship is a Miracle." The pony will stand with its left hoof raised and its head turned slightly back. So, let's go.

Step 1. Let's take a closer look at how to draw the head of a pony from “Friendship is Magic.” Overall the head is round when viewed from the side. If you look at the head from the front or back, it will already be slightly oval. The eyes are located low on the muzzle and close to each other. The ear line continues almost along the back of the head.

Step 2. Here is another example of drawing a head. The head is larger here due to the nose, the sketch of which looks square. This is typical for female ponies. The eyes are a little smaller here.

Step 3. There are eyes too various forms and styles. Different iris placements can show a different look for your Friendship is Magic pony.

Step 4. A pony's mouth can also express different emotions. Here is an example of a mouth from cheerful and happy to sad and angry.

Step 5. A special feature of our pony is its horn. The horn is located in the middle of the unicorn's forehead.

Step 6. If you draw the wings of a pony, you get a pegasus. Here are some examples of wings. Here the wings are folded and open, going up and down. Notice how the feathers are arranged in the wing. The second feather is always the longest.

Step 7 The wing should start approximately at the pony's shoulder, as shown in the picture.

Step 8 Let's move on to the legs. The legs are one of the most difficult elements in this drawing. Since, if you get confused with drawing at least one of the legs, you can ruin the entire drawing. Here you need to make sure that all legs correct length, and all joints in in the right place. If the pony's legs are compared to by human hands and legs, we get the following:
1 – this will be the shoulder/hip;
2 – knee/elbow;
3 – ankle or wrist;
4 – sock.

Step 9 Check out some examples of how to draw the front legs.

Step 10 And for one thing, an example of drawing the hind legs.

Step 11 Here are three hoof styles for ponies. A simple style that is most often found in cartoons. The second is a small hoof. And the third is a furry hoof.

Step 12 It's time to discuss the mane. Any mane will look great on our pony. But to prevent the mane from looking roughly stuck to the head, you just need to add volume to it (the mane).

Step 13 A pony's tail begins where the tailbone ends. The tail will be narrow at the beginning, and then it expands, transforming into the shape we need.

Step 14 Penciling fashionable clothes on the ponies from Friendship is Magic can be very a fun activity. However, it is difficult in its own way. You need to understand how clothes correspond to the lines of the chest, waist and hips. For example, the skirt will start from the back. Its length depends on the height and volume of the tail.

Step 15 Now let's take a step-by-step look at how to draw a pony from “Friendship is Magic.” Let's draw three circles. The top one is for the head. And the lower ones are for the shoulders and hips. Let's connect the circles with a line to show the location of the body. Using cross lines we outline the location of the muzzle.

Step 16 Let's draw the pony's mouth and nose.

Step 17 Let's add eyes, horn and ears.

Step 18 We draw lines with a pencil from the head to the body, this will be the neck.

Step 19 Draw the front legs. One leg will be raised.

Step 20. Select the back and outline the back of the body.

Step 21 Now let's draw the back leg, which is located on our side

Step 22 We draw the second hind leg in such a way that the pony has a cheerful pose.

Step 23 Add a fluffy tail.

Step 24 The mane will be styled like a tail.

Step 25 Adding some aesthetic elements. Let's draw earrings in the ear, add a microphone, a decorative mark on the hip, and bracelets on the legs. The result is such a pop singer.

Step 26 Now we have come to the last step. Erase with an eraser extra lines from the pencil and trace the drawing.

When painted, the pony looks even more fun.

All! We have mastered this big lesson. But now we know how to draw a pony from Friendship is a Miracle. And thanks to the first steps of the lesson, you will be able to draw a cartoon character in various poses and views, which will undoubtedly diversify your drawings based on your favorite cartoon.

And for those who like to watch how to draw a pony with a pencil from the cartoon “Friendship is Magic”, here is a short video lesson

Most children love to draw. And if in early age they are more fascinated by the process itself, then school years this activity becomes meaningful, result-oriented - creating the desired image, for example, a favorite animal or cartoon character. Both are embodied by the pony. This kind and graceful creature, which children can see in the circus or zoo, always evokes affection, especially if they have the opportunity to ride it. The miniature horse can also be seen in the animated series “My Little Ponies,” which takes us to a fictional country inhabited by tiny artiodactyls. How to help your child draw a pony step by step? What other technique can interest a young artist?

Preparing to Draw

Before you start teaching a child how to draw a pony, as well as any other animal, an adult should be allowed to consider to the young artist appropriate toy. In this case, you should pay attention to large parts of the body and small details of the animal’s structure, discuss how a pony differs from an ordinary horse (shorter legs, due to which it has short stature). The head of this horse is disproportionately large compared to the rest of the body. The emphasis is also on the lush mane and ponytail, large eyes with long eyelashes.

Before starting to draw, the student must examine the small horse and highlight the key features of its structure.

Alternatively, you can consider photographs or book illustrations.

The simplest version of the image with which to start lessons is the image of a horse from the side, when only one eye and ear are visible.

As for the technical aspects of drawing, you need to consider the following.

  1. To create the basis of the drawing, you need to choose a pencil that is easy to erase (for this reason, you will also need a good eraser). Before you start creative process You should check the quality of the tools - draw lines with a pencil and then erase them: there should be no dirty marks left on the paper. There is no need to try to draw everything at once as smoothly and correctly as possible: it is better to draw the base lines, including auxiliary ones, and then delete some of them. Corrections don't have to be scary - it's a natural part of the job.
  2. No need to make the image smaller. It is better to learn to draw a horse on A4 or even A3 paper.
  3. You can also draw with chalk on a blackboard: this makes it easier to delete lines and draw new ones. And it is quite possible to preserve such a work with the help of a photograph. As for the magnetic board, you won’t be able to erase unnecessary elements.
  4. When creating an image, a student does not need to rush: after all, for a creative nature, the process of drawing brings pleasure and is a form of relaxation. Moreover, if there is a father and mother nearby, who guides the child and shares with him the joy of creativity.
  5. The task of an adult mentor is to encourage the artist in every possible way. It doesn’t matter if the first works are unsuccessful. First, it is advisable to practice on a rough draft, and then begin the main work.
  6. The silhouette of the pony is always drawn first with a simple pencil, and when coloring you can use the most different materials at the request of the child - colored pencils, wax crayons, bright markers, gel pens, a wide palette of gouache or watercolors.

You can even draw a pony, including step by step, with chalk on a blackboard

How to draw a pony from the TV series My Little Pony - step-by-step instructions

If a child likes the animated series “My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic,” then he will probably want to portray his favorite horse (girls often collect a toy collection of characters).

The animation takes the viewer to a fictional country inhabited by tiny ponies. The main characters are six little girls, each of which has its own character and is endowed with unique abilities and distinctive external features. Among them there are just ponies, pegasuses with wings and unicorns (two horses of each type).

  1. Twilight Sparkle - main character, unicorn, lilac, has a purple mane with a pink stripe, and a pink star on the back leg.
  2. Rainbow Dash is a pegasus, the bravest horse, blue color, with a multi-colored mane and tail.
  3. Rarity is the main fashionista, a unicorn, snow-white, with a purple mane and a pattern of spots on her back leg.
  4. Fluttershy is a big prude who loves and knows how to communicate with animals, a pegasus, yellow with a light lilac mane.
  5. Pinkie Pie is a pegasus, loves holidays and fun, pink, with a red mane and tail.
  6. Applejack is a very hard-working farm pony who is yellow and wears a hat.

The main characters of the cartoon also include the little dragon Spike, who is in love with Rarity.

Each horse has its own character and unique abilities.

General points when drawing cartoon horses

When starting to draw one of the cartoon characters step by step, you should explain to your child important general points.

  1. The anatomy of any object will consist of simple figures(circles, triangles) and lines. In this case, the head is the largest circle. If the character is facing forward or backward, the circles overlap, but their size does not change.

    Circles are the basis of pony anatomy, the most big circle- this is the head

  2. The circles are connected using the neck and tummy. Moreover, the lines should not be straight, but curved. The legs are drawn simply - in the form of triangles with a cut off top. To draw eyes beautifully, you should outline their line and perspective guide on the muzzle.

    The connection of curved lines forms the neck and body of the horse

  3. The wings are very easy to draw, and the horn is depicted in the center of the head on the guide line.

    The horn is located in the center of the pony's head on the guide line

  4. The eyes are located just above the guide line, and the height of the ear is about a third of the head. Special attention should be sharpened at the distance between the ear and the eyes - it should not be too large, but not too small.

    The eyes are depicted slightly above the horizontal guide, and the ears are depicted at a certain distance from the eyes.

  5. The neck always remains the same length and thickness in different poses, but you don’t have to draw it if the pony’s head is located almost full-face. In some cases, a long or short neck can emphasize the horse's emotions.

    The neck always remains the same length. An exception is when the horse is not standing in full view or you need to emphasize its emotions

  6. To achieve the desired pose, the circles are arranged and overlapped in a specific order. Due to overlap, you can make the character more expressive and voluminous. If some part of the horse is hidden, then, of course, there is no need to draw it.

    Any pose can be depicted by arranging and overlapping the circles as needed.

Step by step drawing of Fluttershy

Let's look at a step-by-step image of one of the heroines of the series - the pony Fluttershy. This modest beauty has a beautiful mane and a fluffy tail of a soft lilac color, miniature wings, and huge eyes.

Shy big-eyed horse is full of charm

  1. First, draw a horizontal oval (torso) in the center of the sheet. Above it, a little to the left is a circle (head). Departs from the oval wavy line- future luxurious ponytail.

    By using geometric shapes outlines the main parts of the horse's body

  2. Next, we outline the outline of the muzzle: the nose is small, slightly raised up. We draw one expressive eye (after all, the pony is standing sideways): don’t forget about the pupil, highlights and long eyelashes. We also depict a slightly pointed ear and a smile. Mandatory attribute of a beauty - long hair, divided into two parts: one in front, and the second partially hidden by the muzzle. The curls curl beautifully and fall almost to the ground.

    The emphasis should be on the large expressive eye and chic curls

  3. Next we depict the front and back legs, flirty wings on the back (only one is possible, the second is not visible from the chosen angle). The legs do not need to be drawn too long, very thin or thick. A harmonious image will be created by observing all proportions. A chic developing tail completes the anatomy.

    To achieve maximum resemblance to the original, it is important to maintain all proportions

  4. We detail the image: we decorate the mane and tail with longitudinal lines, and on Fluttershy’s thigh we draw a characteristic pattern of three graceful butterflies.

    Characteristic details give the horse a special charm.

  5. The drawing is ready. All that remains is to erase the auxiliary lines.

    The final image remains to be carefully colored

Sparkle is a beautiful unicorn with a gorgeous mane, slender and light-footed Distinctive feature Pinkie Pie now has her gorgeous pink fur, a bright pink long mane with curls, a ponytail, and a pattern on her hip depicting balloons Pony Rainbow Dash is a gorgeous horse with a rainbow tail, mane and an original tattoo depicting a rainbow. Slender legs, a thin neck, a perky raised muzzle and a chic curled mane, a magnificent tail - everything about the pony Rarity is lovely. Apple Jack ties the mane and tail with rubber bands, and the front leg often jumps

Creating your own style when drawing a cartoon horse

When teaching a student how to draw step by step, you don’t need to simply copy a picture. It is much better if the child, in the process of creativity, develops his own artistic style, bring something of your own into the composition, without reducing the similarity with the original. Let's outline some possible techniques.

  1. The head can be of a certain shape: more oval or round, pointed or square.

    The head can be drawn in a special shape, for example, resembling a circle or square

  2. You can experiment with the eyes (after all, they are cartoonish): make them surprised, slanted, with large or small pupils, etc.

    Drawing eyes opens up great opportunities for experimentation

  3. Drawing different ears is also interesting: they can be fluffy, more pointed, etc.

    You can play with the shape and texture of horse ears

  4. A pony's mouth, like its eyes, can express strong emotions: It can be large or slightly noticeable.

    Using the shape of the mouth you can convey the character's emotions

  5. Drawing the wings of pegasus opens up real scope for creative imagination. Here you can build on the plumage of real birds, making them sweeping or very modest. The wings can be straightened or folded.

    There are many ways to draw wings

  6. The most important attributes of any cartoon horse are the mane and tail. With their help it is very easy to stylize the image in your own way. Hair can flutter in the wind or lie flat. You can depict it as gentle, flowing, or rough and hard - there are a lot of options here. The same applies to the ponytail: you can curl it in a spiral, wrap a ribbon around the tip, “cut it off” evenly, etc.

    The tail and mane are the most creative attributes of a cartoon horse

Step-by-step image of a realistic pony

Besides fairy tale character, a child can ask an adult to teach him how to draw a real pony. Note that artiodactyl animals are quite difficult to depict, but with some effort you can get a wonderful realistic image.

standing horse

  1. First, select a rectangular area on a sheet of paper to create an image and divide it into 12 squares of equal size. Let's draw two circles and connect them with a rounded line.

    Squares define the border of the future drawing

  2. Using ovals and straight lines Let's designate the contours of the animal's head, neck, back and legs.

    We use ovals and straight lines to indicate body parts.

  3. Add details, outline the contours with a thick line.

    To clarify the image, we again use ovals and lines

  4. Carefully erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser. We depict the eyes, a lush mane, a long tail, hooves, or rather draw the mouth.

    The drawing is ready

  5. We shade the image with a simple pencil: we convey the play of shadows and the texture of the fur.

    Using pressure, you can convey light highlights and shaggy fur.

Horses are known for their speed, so we will also consider such a nuance as drawing a running pony. The main thing in creating this image is to correctly convey the position of the legs (all other parts of the body are drawn in approximately the same way).

  1. First, we draw an auxiliary line - it shows the running rhythm (can be straight or curved).

    The line shows the running rhythm

  2. We outline the torso, hips and the level of the surface where the horse stands.

    The line will help in the future to correctly draw the length of the legs

  3. We draw the first pair of legs (front and back, which are located facing the viewer, since we have a side view). To create the required length we use arcs.

    To determine the required leg length, draw arcs

  4. We find the middle of the legs, and then the center of the resulting segments. After this, we outline the width of each part with segments, draw ovals around them (after all, the pony’s legs do not look like posts).

    The width of the pony's legs is not the same along the entire length

  5. By connecting the ovals with curved lines, we get a beautiful contour of the legs.

    By connecting the edges of the ovals, we can easily get a beautifully curved outline of horse legs

  6. In a similar way (using segments and ovals) we draw the second pair of legs (those on the other side). They will be bent, therefore the lines should be shorter.

    At the last stage of work, carefully erase the auxiliary lines

Draw a pony in cells with pencils or felt-tip pens

Another way to introduce a child to creativity is exciting drawing by cells. For this you will need a regular notebook sheet, colored pencils or markers.

  1. Using this technique you can create the most different images ponies: from cartoonish to completely realistic.

    A child can draw a pony by cells

  2. Accordingly, it stands out different level difficulty of drawing. It’s better to start lightly: simply paint over the monochromatic silhouette of the horse or use very few colors.

    Portrait of a horse

In addition to aesthetic pleasure, drawing by cells brings great benefit: develops spatial orientation, attention, stimulates the imagination, cultivates perseverance and patience. This activity calms the nerves well (adults can also draw) and relieves stress. This technique is a great option to increase self-esteem in children who are not very good at other types of creativity: the results obtained will inspire them to try new things.

Each child can choose a certain tactic for depicting the cells. Some people find it more convenient to draw from top to bottom, others from right to left. You can try working from the center: this works well for rounded images.

It is better for beginning artists to draw in large-checked notebooks, gradually choosing more complex patterns.

Sitting horse from the cartoon series

Young animal artists can spend hours sitting at the table with a pencil in their hands, trying to depict their favorite animal, for example, a charming pony. And adults can easily help them create their favorite image - a small realistic horse or a character from a popular animated series. will come to the rescue step by step drawing, representing sequential operating patterns. At the same time, you need to encourage the child not just to copy the picture, but to bring something of his own into it, to form his own artistic style. Also, a student’s creative leisure time can be diversified exciting drawing by cells.

This material will show you how to draw characters from the series My Little Pony In addition, you will learn to give your drawings a unique style.

Anatomy Basics

For any object, when drawing anatomy, you should use the simplest shapes (circles, triangles, lines) and perspective guide lines. First, let's look at how character anatomy is drawn in My Little Pony.

Start with the basic shapes. They will help you locate the pony's head, chest and butt. Note that the head is the largest circle of all the others. When the character is turned front or back, overlap the circles. The size of the circles never changes unless you are drawing in perspective.

Connect the circles with your neck and stomach. Note that the connections should be curved and not straight lines. The legs are very simple, they look like curved triangles. Draw an eye line and a perspective guide on the head, this will help you draw the eyes later.

The simplest arrangement of wings and horns. Make sure you draw the horn in the center of the head and it is on the guide line.

These steps are already enough to learn how to draw ponies from My Little Pony very quickly.

Head: sketch out perspective guide lines for head orientation and eye level using light pencil or a translucent brush. Place the eyes evenly apart and slightly above the eye line. The ear is approximately the same height as a third of the head. Notice the distance between the eyes and the ear, it took me a long time to learn how far apart they should be when I first had to draw the pony.

Neck: The length and thickness of the neck remains the same in many poses and different looks, however there are many situations where a long or short neck helps to emphasize a pony's emotions. Plus, if the head is mostly in front of the neck, you don't need to draw it at all.

Pose: overlap the circles and arrange them so that they help you achieve the pose you want. Overlapping can add depth to a character and make them appear more three-dimensional. Clue: It is not necessary that every part of the pony should be visible; if it is hidden, then it does not need to be drawn.

Head: For many styles, this is the first thing to mention. Finding a unique approach to drawing a head can make your style stand out from others. The head can be oval, round, pointed or square.

Eyes: On the head, this is the most important area that can help you stand out. There are many eyes that I have drawn, from original style to anime. Don't just copy what you see here, try experimenting. There are no limits to cartoon eyes.

Ears: I know a lot of people who draw pony ears in different styles. They can be long, short, fluffy and so on. Experiment with your ears and have fun with it!

Mouth: When combined with the eyes, the mouth can express very strong emotions that will leave an impression on the viewer. The mouth may be small, large, cartoonish, or practically non-existent. See what is closest to you and experiment.

Horn: For unicorns like Rarity or Twilight Sparkle, the horn is the most important part you need to draw, after defeating Discord, of course. The length of this horn should be appropriate for the style you are aiming for. But sometimes his exaggeration also works. It doesn't matter what kind or style you draw your My Little Pony pony, the correct position for the horn is in the center of the skull. However, the vertical position of the horn on the skull can give the unicorn a very interesting appearance.

Wings

Oh, this is where the fun begins! Don't be afraid to draw wings; for inspiration, use the wings of real birds or models of wings from other cartoons.

Wings spread: Make them big! Or keep it small. Hang them with lots of feathers, or leave them minimum quantity feathers For characters like Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy, drawing wings can take long time and their appearance can change throughout the drawing of the entire composition as a whole. Both big wings for Rainbow Dash and small, nimble, graceful wings are common to many styles, but don't be afraid to go against the grain. general principles and experiment.

Folded Wings: I find them the most difficult for me, and frankly a little bland. If you want a more realistic style, you need to pay attention to how real birds fold their wings to convince the viewer that they are folded. Cartoon ones, they are much simpler, although depending on the type.

Mane and tail

The mane and tail are perhaps one of the main main areas to pay attention to when creating your own style. You can keep their style from the cartoon series, but we create our own own style, so let's put the originals aside. (The first two drawings are original, the last one is more random).

Position: Where you place the hair in your drawing can really bring out the personality of the character and the composition of the drawing as a whole. Will you make them flutter in the wind? You will make your hairstyle live own life? Maybe it's straight hair? Imagine what they will look like, work on your idea and complete it.

Diversity: Long and wavy, rough and pointed, square and hard. Hair doesn't always have to look like real hair.

State: You can go crazy with the number of looks your hair can look like depending on its condition. Are they wet? Are they very dry? Dirty?

Working with external elements such as the mane and tail makes them stand out, but still try to fit them into the composition of the overall design so that they look great.

So, now you've learned how to draw ponies from the animated series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and create your own style - stick to the basic rules, but don't be afraid to experiment!

Fits completely in the picture. At the top of the sheet in the center, draw a large smooth circle. This will be the head of the future pony. Just below the middle of the sheet and a little to the right of the head, draw a slightly flattened circle. At "May" little pony"The head is much larger than the body, so when drawing, follow the proportions, focusing on the presented photo. Connect the circles with a curved line, convex to the left.

Using the drawn markings, draw a line on the horse’s forehead. It is about a quarter of a circle. Add a slightly rounded triangle at the end of the ear. Draw a curved line for the nose and eyes.

In the center of the marking circle, you next need to draw " May little pony" large eye. It should look like a large almond or birch leaf. Above the eye, draw a curved eyebrow with a pair of eyelashes at the end. Draw a large pupil. right side The muzzle in the drawing should show part of the second eye, add it with a light stroke. Don't forget about fluffy, curved eyelashes. On the ear, draw a small stripe dividing the triangle in half. Place nostril dots on the nose and draw a small smiling mouth.

Now you need to draw "My Little Pony" hooves. To determine their location, visually divide the breast marking line (connecting the two circles) in half. From the head to this line draw the neck and chest of the pony. From its end, start drawing the lines of the hooves. To make it easier to depict them, draw two small elongated ovals (shins), and then connect them short lines with the body. From the front and back of the horse's ear, draw two curved lines mane, make it voluminous by adding strokes inside.

On the left side add the second part of the mane. Make soft waves, don't forget about volume. If you want, you can draw a "My Little Pony" little halo above your head. To do this, you need to draw two ovals next to each other as shown in the picture step-by-step instructions.

Now start drawing the body and hind hooves. Do everything exactly the same as in the image. The pony's hip should follow the line of the marking circle, and the lines of the legs should be drawn from it. If you want to draw while jumping, then the rear hooves should be significantly lower than the front ones.
