Transcripts
hey everyone I'm back welcome back to
another how to draw video I'm really
really glad to be back I have been
completely m.i.a
for a while for those of you who follow
me on Instagram I mean I I hardly been
post on there
my life has been changing and is
changing but anyway without further ado
I know a lot of people have been
requesting this video of how to draw
fillies so the first thing we're going
to do is think about the measurements of
the filly you know that I always start
with the circle that I'm planning on
working with the head is gonna be about
that big with normal ponies like I've
mentioned in my other videos
normal ponies are about 3 heads tall my
cats are going kind of crazy so if you
hear thumping and running it's them
regular ponies are about 3 heads tall
and stallions are about three and a half
heads tall and so fillies are basically
two heads tall slightly more than two
heads so wherever you draw your circle
you just kind of double it I mean I make
it a little bit longer but it's pretty
much two heads tall you could get away
with just making it exactly two heads so
we have our circle for the little
fillies head and then we're gonna go
ahead and add her little body so just
like the other ponies and again I'm
gonna do a completely generic an
exciting kind of a 3/4 pose like all my
other videos my cats are going nuts so
the neck starts around the center of the
circle at the bottom of the circle and
comes down maybe about halfway between
the bottom of the head
and where the ground will be so it comes
down about that far the head is actually
wider than the body so the body you're
going to make it shorter than the width
of the head so if the heads out to here
I'm gonna make it a little bit shorter
maybe like one quarter of the amount
shorter this line is the marker we're
going to use as the top of the back of
the little filly and then this is where
the back of the neck would be but that's
probably gonna be hidden by hair so just
really lightly draw that in the legs are
of course a lot thicker and width than
regular ponies so this leg which is
closest to us I'm drawing that line
coming down and that's about oh it's
kind of thick and then with the back leg
I start with the back of the heel the
line of the back of the heel first go
like this and then bring this line down
and then make sure that both of the legs
are equally as thick you don't want to
make one leg too much thicker and it's
kind of easy to do for some reason I
don't know maybe that's what I've found
is when I'm drawing fillies because I'm
trying to make their legs a little bit
thicker than what I'm used to
I end up drawing them kind of different
different sizes and then the back leg
it's just gonna be back here and you
want to make that of course a little bit
shorter because it's further away so it
looks shorter and the other back leg
also has to match at the same level of
that first back leg we'll use our
mistake line has the back leg line
perfect that works out
and then the belly comes up kind of
covers the back leg a little bit there
we have the basic body form of the filly
yay so I'm going to be laying down the
guidelines for the head in the face so
this first guideline is going to be
showing how the head is tilted again
this way if this line is higher that
means the pony is looking up if it's
lower that means it's a little bit more
down even though this is pretty low this
is where I put it because I like I need
to know where the bottom of the eyes
will be so I put it there and then this
other guideline shows whether the pony's
looking more left or more right then I'd
like to put in the eyes and the eyes are
definitely different from a
regular-sized Pony both the eyes are
obviously much bigger but not only are
they bigger they're more round so
they're more circular and they're also
further apart from each other than
normal ponies I'm going to be putting
the eye right here and it's going to be
freaking huge
and I'm trying not to lay down too many
ones but that's the idea and then the
other eye it's going to be about there
it should look a little bit like a bug
because their eyes are so enormous but
cute so when we go in to draw the nose
we're going to draw the bridge extended
from this side of the furthest eye so
this is going to come down it barely
comes out past this circle just a little
bit this line is brought back down to
the bottom of the circle and that's how
little the nose is we have the eyes down
we have the mouth the nose is a tiny
little you
it's a little sideways you and the ears
the bottom of the back of the ear is
almost where the top of the eye is maybe
a little bit lower but and it goes up to
this top line here so the top of the
head and the top of the ear is about
where the top of the head is it's a lot
smaller than regular ponies I guess when
they grow just like humans their ears
get bigger so what I'm going to do is
draw her pupil her pupil it takes up
almost as much as the entire eyeball
itself just like a regular pony this one
the eyes are really really large okay
SuperDuper big eyes well go ahead and do
this one you can literally just this
gets brought down and then again we're
gonna do another circle for the pupil
I'll do it again for this side like this
a little bit of some sunshine rays so
there are the eyes I fixed the outline
it looked a little weird but I think it
just was kind of sketchy and sloppy on
the outside so I just kind of defined
those lines I'm gonna go over everything
with like marker and stuff but moving on
to the hair I do have a video about
different ways to draw a pony hair which
you can check out I'll have the link
right here for this Pony I'm feeling
inspired by nature so I'm gonna give her
she's gonna have nature-inspired hair oh
I really like her okay so unfortunately
the eyes look a little too far apart and
since I insisted on drawing with a
colored pencil I can't erase it I'm
gonna have to come to terms with number
two pencils and suck it up I just smear
it so much so I like using color pencils
better but I love how he looks but I
just know that everyone watching you
know you're gonna want to see how to
make the authentic looking filly and so
that's what I'm trying to go for so I'm
gonna quickly redraw this and be right
back okay so I redrew our little filly
and I made a few adjustments I first of
all used an actual pencil instead of a
colored pencil and I made the eyes a
little bit closer together but still
take note that the eyes on a filly are a
little bit farther apart than a regular
pony I also adjusted the length of the
legs my other drawing the legs one was a
little bit longer I don't know I kind of
cleaned up the whole thing usually
drawings come out better the second time
you draw them anyway so it's all good so
what I'm going to be doing next is
coloring everything and like I said I
was really inspired by nature and leaves
when I drew this Pony so I'm gonna color
him or her accordingly and I don't know
if it's going to be a him or her I'll
see if I don't know kind of looks like a
girl so yeah I'm gonna be coloring in
fast forward mode or time-lapse and I'll
be back to show the finished product
okay here's the finished filly you look
so cute still don't know if it's a boy
or a girl looks like a boy he definitely
doesn't have a cutie mark yet because
he's a filly I went ahead and just
painted a background with some fall
colors and his color scheme was inspired
by fall colors so I'm really excited to
have this for you guys I hope you liked
it if you did make sure to give it a
thumbs up I'd really appreciate it
definitely tell me what you'd like to
see if you want me to if you want to see
me draw other animals people landscapes
scenery or maybe different techniques
how to get started what what to use I
would be happy to do videos like that
I'm planning on doing some Let's Plays
so let me know what you'd like to see as
far as that - what kind of games would
you like to see me play I'm really
interested in platformer games and RPGs
games like Zelda Final Fantasy

play of that so if you'd like to see
