“Friendship is a Miracle” is a popular American animated series loved by many preschool girls. He is full of kindness, magic and adventure, and most importantly - stories of real friendship. Its action takes place in a fictional world inhabited by both real and mythical creatures: dragons, manticores, griffins and others, but its main characters, of course, are ponies. The animated series is incredibly colorful, funny and interesting, and therefore won the hearts of so many viewers. Therefore, in this article we will learn the basics of drawing ponies from this world, according to which you can portray your favorite characters.
The basics
First of all, in order to remember how to draw “Friendship is a miracle”, you need to understand what basic parts a pony consists of. This is a round head on a short neck, an elongated body and four high legs. Details are a long magnificent tail, mane, a horn in the middle of the forehead and two small ears in the parietal parts of the head, large eyes with eyelashes, a nose and a mouth. The blunder of many fans who want to draw a pony “Friendship is a miracle” is a failure to observe the proportions of these characters. To make it easier to remember them, we will first try to portray the characters in profile. To do this, we need a simple pencil, an eraser, a landscape sheet of paper, a pair of compasses and a ruler. It’s also better to have pictures “Friendship is a Miracle” painted by the authors of the animated series in order to focus on them in the process of creativity: this will greatly facilitate the work.
Proportions
First, we draw the base for the head in the form of a circle, the diameter of which we take for one part (this is important, because on it we will depict the remaining components). For convenience, in the resulting circle, draw two straight lines through the center: vertical and horizontal, and one on the bottom edge, parallel to the second line. Guided by the last line, we draw two more identical circles for the body with a diameter equal to 2/3 of the part (i.e. if the diameter of the head is 9 cm, then the necessary now is 6 cm), they should be somewhat in the middle of each other. Now we connect the head with the resulting base in smooth lines: the back should be slightly concave, and the neck should be formed by parallel lines. The pony has four legs, so for now, roughly four straight lines are drawn in one length. Thus, we learned the basis of how to draw “Friendship is a miracle”, now we add moving parts of the body.
Joints
It must be remembered that even with drawn ponies, the limbs form joints in conjunction with the body and their parts between them, and they can bend only in one direction, like the legs of a person. For simplicity, we depict everything in the form of hinges with jumpers. So, we draw marks in the area of the shoulder, pelvis, knees, hooves and on the border between the back leg and the body. We connect them as shown in the figure and give the form smooth lines. So, we have finished drawing the limbs of our pony. Now, in order to learn how to draw “Friendship is a Miracle”, we only need to add small details on the head and tail, and then colorize the character.
The final stage
Each pony from this animated series has its own appearance and character, but they are drawn according to the general plan. To draw eyes, in the front half of the head circle we draw an oval, which the horizontal line intersects exactly in half. Inside it, we depict a large pupil, and along the upper border and below - magnificent cilia. The muzzle is located in the anterior lower quarter of the same circle, the back of the nose is curved, the angle is sharp, and with the chin it forms a rounded line.
Just below the tip we draw a short segment for the nostrils, we portray the mouth in a smile. If you look at the pony in profile, then her ears are on the upper back quarter of the circle, and the horn (whoever has it) is opposite, in front (in an oblique direction). So we learned how to draw “Friendship is a miracle”, namely the pony from this animated series. To complete the drawing, you need to add the tail and mane, characteristic of your favorite character, and colorize with colored pencils.
