Description I started this ages ago but never got around to add the finishing details until now.
I actually had an old "How to draw MLPs" tutorial up on my abandoned site but it's ooold and I wanted something better that I could post here on DA. I know a lot of my watchers are My Little Pony fans so here's a little something for you all English is not my native language but hopefully this will be simple and understandable enough(I had *LazyJenny read through it and help me with my little spelling errors ).

Oh, and I'm not saying this is the only way to draw a MLP and I do like it when people develop their own styles instead of copying mine so this is basically just a little something to get you started. Maybe someone, somewhere will find something useful in it

Thank you all for your support!
Without your uplifting comments and faves I would not even have bothered to make this

Gen 1 was so much better than the new one. I like both though.

I really love how this is for the older show. While I prefer the new one, I can understand why they're important.

This was great! I always wanted to draw this style of my little pony without going to close to the newest generation. I need to work better on my pony's hair but otherwise i think i followed pretty well!

I find this (oddly enough) easier to draw than G4. Thank you so much for posting this, there isn't very many tutorials on G1 ponies and I had looked for one after my sisters and I started to watch the first ever season.

So many thanks to you. <3 I had constructed G1-ified Pinkie Pie (who has the cutiemark and mane/tail as G4 Pinkie): [link]

AnnieMsson In reply to Luoka [2012-07-25 10:26:55 +0000 UTC]

Cute Pinkie pie!
The G4 style is pretty simple but since I'm used to my own style I feel more comfortable using it

Luoka In reply to AnnieMsson [2012-07-25 19:42:07 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. X3
Yes, it is, but it's the sort of style that if you get one thing wrong it may look horribly out of proportion or something.
I often switch my own style, sometimes G1 or G4.
Oh, and hanks for posting this tutorial~ I'm sure you've helped plenty of people.
