If you're like me and have no previous art experience and no tablet then you might wanna try out some techniques that make pony drawing faster and easier. Esp for the mouse or touchpad user. Since all ponies use the same shapes, you can apply them to all =D

By using simple shapes like circles, worms, etc there is no need for fancy drawing tools and time consuming construction sketches.

You kill off two birds with one stone, you get the coloring done while drawing at the same time.


Technique learned from :iconitchymango:





Edit: Added Ear drawing process
Also, woot this is on EqD's list of tutorials. Cool beans =>





(additional mouse drawing tip: When you use a mouse for drawing be sure to increase its pick-up speed. Most can be adjusted in the control panel and if your mouse supports it. I increased mine from 60hz to 120hz. Better accuracy and motion sensing.)

This makes it look so damn easy, I need to try this at some point.

Also the mark for the inner ear looks to me like it's the wrong way round when compared to other pics.

Thank you!

I'm new to digital art...er, in fact I've never done much hand-drawing, but digital art really appealed. I've got a very respectable-looking twilight in the works here. Thanks!
