  • Question
    How do I draw Pinkie Pie?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Pinkie Pie might be a little bit harder than the other ponies because she is usually pictured hopping, but if you want to draw an easier version of her, you could draw her in the same pose as say, Twilight, for example. But before you grab your pencil, here are a few tips to get you started: Instead of drawing her mane with straight strokes as you would do for Twilight, you want as many crazy curves as possible. You will also want to draw her mouth in a wide smile like she is happy. If you want, you can also draw her eyes squeezed shut, or you can draw her winking. You can also use a picture from the internet to help you draw.

    How can I make Rainbow Dash skinny and draw MLP well?
    Community Answer

    When you make the circles for the bodies, make them touch and don't make the circles too big. If you spread them apart like in the last few examples it makes the ponies look very long and fat.
  • Question

Article SummaryX

To draw Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony, start by drawing 3 circles with 2 of them overlapping. Then, draw 4 legs extending off of the overlapping circles, using curved lines so the bottoms of the legs are rounded. Next, connect the third circle with one of the overlapping circles to make the neck, and draw a tail coming off of the other overlapping circle. After you make the neck and tail, draw the ears, mane, and horn. Finish your drawing by adding the eyes and mouth and erasing any unnecessary lines.
