Video: "How to draw a pony?"

Most children love to draw. And if at an early age they are more interested in the process itself, then in their school years this activity becomes meaningful, aimed at the result - creating the desired image, for example, a favorite animal or cartoon character. Both embody a pony. This kind and graceful creature that children can see in a circus or a zoo always evokes emotion, 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 a child draw a pony step by step? What other technique can interest a young artist?

Preparation for drawing

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

Before starting drawing, the student must examine a small horse, highlight the key features of its structure

Alternatively, consider photographs or book illustrations.

The simplest version of the image with which to start the 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 easily erased (in this regard, you will need a good eraser). Before starting the creative process, you should check the quality of the tools - draw lines with a pencil and then erase them: there should not be any dirty marks on the paper. No need to try to draw everything at once as evenly and correctly as possible: it is better to draw the base lines, including auxiliary ones, and then delete some of them. Corrections shouldn't be intimidating - it's a natural part of the job.
2. You don't need to shrink the image. It is better to learn how to draw a horse on A4 or even A3 paper.
3. You can also draw with chalk on the board: it's easier to delete lines and draw new ones. And it is quite possible to save such a work with the help of a photograph. As for the magnetic board, it will not be possible to erase unnecessary elements here.
4. When creating an image, a student does not need to rush: after all, for a creative person, the process of drawing brings pleasure and is a form of relaxation. Especially if there is a father and mother nearby, who guides the child and shares the joy of creativity with him.
5. The task of an adult mentor is to encourage the artist in every possible way. It does not matter if the first works are unsuccessful. At first, it is advisable to practice on a draft, and then proceed to the main work.
6. The silhouette of a pony is always drawn in the beginning with a simple pencil, and when coloring, you can use a variety of materials at the request of the child - colored pencils, wax crayons, bright felt-tip pens, gel pens, a wide palette of gouache or watercolors.

You can even draw a pony, including in stages, even with chalk on a blackboard

How to draw a pony from the 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 babies, each of which has its own character and is endowed with unique abilities and distinctive external features. Among them there are just ponies, pegasus with wings and unicorns (each species has two horses).

1. Twilight Sparkle - the main character, a unicorn, lilac, has a purple mane with a pink stripe, a pink star on the back leg.
2. Rainbow Dash is a pegasus, the most daring horse, blue in color, with a multi-colored mane and tail.

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

Starting the phased drawing of one of the cartoon characters, important general points should be explained to the child.

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

   Circles are the basis of pony anatomy, the largest circle is the head

2. 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 top. To draw the eyes beautifully, you should outline their line and a perspective guide on the muzzle.

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

3. The wings are very easy to draw, and the horn is drawn 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. Particular attention should be focused on the distance between the ear and the eyes - it should not be too large, but not too small.

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

5. The neck always remains the same length and thickness in different poses, but it can be omitted if the pony's head is almost frontal. 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 does not stand in front or you need to emphasize its emotions

6. To get the desired pose, the circles are arranged and overlapped in a certain order. Due to the overlap, you can make the character more expressive and voluminous. If some part of the horse is hidden, then, of course, it is not necessary to draw it.

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

How to draw Fluttershy step by step

Consider a step-by-step image of one of the heroines of the series - pony Fluttershy. This modest beauty has a beautiful mane and fluffy tail of pale lilac color, miniature wings, huge eyes.

The shy big-eyed horse is full of charm

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

   With the help of geometric shapes, the main parts of the horse's body are outlined.

2. Next, we outline the contour of the muzzle: the nose is small, slightly turned up. We draw one expressive eye (after all, the pony is standing sideways): do not forget about the pupil, highlights and long cilia. We also depict a slightly pointed ear, a smile. A mandatory attribute of a beauty is long hair, divided into two parts: one in front, and the second partly hidden by a muzzle. The curls curl beautifully and fall almost to the ground.

   The emphasis should be on a large expressive eye and chic curls.

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

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

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

   Characteristic details give a special charm to the horse.

5. The drawing is ready. It remains only to erase the auxiliary lines.

   The final image remains to be neatly colored

Creating your own style when drawing a cartoon horse

Teaching a student step-by-step drawing does not need to achieve a simple copy of the picture. It is much better if the child, in the process of creativity, develops his own artistic style, brings something of his own to the composition, without reducing the resemblance to the original. Let's outline some possible methods.

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 (because they are cartoonish): make them surprised, slanting, 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. The mouth of a pony, like the eyes, can express strong emotions: it can be large or slightly noticeable.

   Using the shape of the mouth, you can convey the emotions of the character

5. Real scope for creative imagination opens up drawing the wings of Pegasus. Here you can build on the plumage of real birds, making them sweeping or quite modest. 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 style the image in your own way. Hair can flutter in the wind or lie flat. You can depict them as gentle, flowing or rough and hard - there are a lot of options here. The same applies to the ponytail: you can curl it with a spiral, cover the tip with a ribbon, cut it evenly, etc.

   Tail and mane - the most creative attributes of a cartoon horse

Realistic pony step by step

In addition to a fairy-tale character, a child can ask an adult to teach how to draw a real pony. Note that it is quite difficult to depict artiodactyl animals, 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 the same size. Draw two circles and connect them with a rounded line.

   Squares define the border of the future drawing

2. With the help of ovals and straight lines we denote the contours of the head, neck, back and legs of the animal.

   To indicate parts of the body, we use ovals and straight lines.

3. We add details, outline the contours with a bold line.

   To refine the image, we again use ovals and lines.

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

   Drawing ready

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

   Using the force of pressure, you can convey light glare and shaggy wool

Horses are known for their speed, so let's 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 much the same way).

1. First, draw an auxiliary line - it shows the rhythm of running (it 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 desired length, use arcs.

   To determine the required length of the legs, we draw arcs

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

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

5. Connecting the ovals with curved lines, we get a beautiful outline 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) draw the second pair of legs (those on the other side). They will be bent, hence the lines should be shorter.

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

We draw a pony in the cells with pencils or felt-tip pens

Another way to introduce a child to creativity is fascinating drawing by cells. To do this, you will need a regular notebook sheet, colored pencils or felt-tip pens.

1. In this technique, you can create a variety of pony images: from cartoonish to quite realistic.

   A child can draw a pony in cells

2. Accordingly, a different level of drawing complexity is also distinguished. It’s better to start with an easy one: just paint over a solid silhouette of a horse or use very few colors.

   horse portrait

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

Each child can choose for himself a certain tactic of the image in the cells. It is more convenient for someone to draw from top to bottom, for someone - from right to left. You can try working from the center: this works well for rounded looks.

It is better for novice artists to draw in notebooks in a large cell, gradually choosing more complex schemes.

Young animal artists can spend hours at the table with a pencil in their hands, trying to portray their favorite animal, for example, an adorable pony. And adults may well help them create their favorite image - a small realistic horse or a character from a popular animated series. Step-by-step drawing will come to the rescue, which is a sequential scheme of work. At the same time, it is necessary to encourage the child not only to copy the picture, but to bring something of his own into it, to form his own artistic style. Also, the student's creative leisure can be diversified by fascinating drawing by cells.

Ponies like to draw both adults and children, they are similar to horses, beautiful, smart, kind. They only differ in their small size, which adds even more tenderness. The pony is depicted in many children's cartoons, and perhaps you will be pleased to draw a hero from your favorite cartoon together with your child. It is not necessary to strive for a professional level yet, it is important to master the basics of drawing a pony in stages.

It seems to me that everyone, at a young age, dreamed of their own pony, begged their parents to let them ride in the circus, getting upset when it was time to go home. In general, a pony is one of the subspecies of domestic horses, a feature of which is a very small stature, about one hundred and fifty centimeters. Pony has a well-developed physique, powerful neck, short legs, but very strong endurance. There are also different breeds bred in different countries. It is now customary to consider ponies as children's horses, but initially ponies served for difficult work, because these crumbs are able to carry a load exceeding as much as twenty times their own weight! Their most common use was in underground coal mines. Many little horses have never even seen the light of day. But now, in the world of modern technology, ponies are not subject to such cruel treatment.

It is not surprising that this animal has become so popular with children, their calm disposition, kind eyes, and often long mane attract attention. In order to try to portray a pony, start with a phased sketch. Prepare an eraser, pencil, felt-tip pens and paints, which will be more convenient for you.

1. Take a pencil with a thick core, depict the head, eyes, nose and mouth of a pony, for example, take a cartoon from a popular TV series, there is also a horn.
2. We draw the mane, depicting it as if in the form of a wave.
3. We turn to the body, we make it from two ovals, larger and smaller. Do not forget about the tail, make it a wave, like a mane.
4. The eyes are anime-like, large with a glint of light. Shade the light part, then the dark part. Draw the pupils with a thinner pencil, outline the outline of the eyes more clearly.
5. Make highlights on the tail and mane, for this, shade them completely, and then go over with an eraser in some places. This effect will give the pony liveliness.
6. Finish the drawing by circling the outline of the drawing once more boldly. Ready!

Create a pattern by cells

It seems that such pictures are easy to create. However, this is only at first glance. In fact, a child drawing by cells, firstly, needs certain mathematical skills - after all, there are a lot of calculations to be done, and secondly, the young creator will need to show all his perseverance and patience, since to see the image from the sketch is already the first cells are unlikely. But anyway, this technique:

• trains the skill of orientation in space;
• stimulates the development of the imagination;
• calms the nerves (which is why many adults prefer this particular variant of the manifestation of their creative abilities).

Many young artists like drawing by cells

The technique of drawing by cells is available even to those guys who are not too friendly with smooth lines and transitions. The main thing is to choose a convenient drawing tactic:

• top down;
• from right to left;
• from the center.

The last method is suitable for creating rounded images.

And a couple of tricky tricks for beginners:

• it is better to start with monochrome pictures, gradually moving to multi-colored ones;
• it is more convenient to create the first drawings in notebooks in a large cell - this way the image will be more understandable, “readable”, already at the initial stage of drawing.

It is interesting. There is no consensus on the time of appearance of drawings by cells. Some suggest that we owe such a technique to cross-stitch patterns, others to the coordinate grid in drawing. But all opinions agree on one thing: the modern boom of drawing by cells is associated with the appearance of the first computer games and the spread of pixel drawings.

A beginner can paint a picture with one color
Too multi-colored images are within the power of already experienced artists who own the technique of creating an image by cells. Usually, this drawing does not cause difficulty when choosing shades for coloring.
