My big honking tutorial for how to make a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-style pony with Inkscape.

Still kind of a work in progress. Which is to say, I'll add more as I learn how to do new stuff. Or as I make the tutorial better, because I am not that good at telling people how to do stuff.

Updated! With a better way to handle heads. I figured out that I could disconnect the mouth/nose/snout area from the rest of the head. Means you'll have an easier time making faces since you don't need to create a collection of heads to work off of.

Another update, kind of, though I haven't done anything.

AlterForm made a guide for how to make pony eyes and for those of you who might be really new to Inkscape it'll be a big help in helping you to understand some of the stuff I did here that I glossed over.

His tutorial starts here:

So that's how you do make the lines like strokes... I'be been doing it the hard way (path to object, then making the ends pointed)

For the most part, though, I think Xerophyte turned out okay (especially for a first time) [link]

Using it now for my very first attempt at drawing anything using a computer. Hope it comes out well! xD

I've been using Inkscape for years, but I've never found that it's possible to make those outlines look similar to actual strokes (with smoothly varying thickness). Thanks for that tip! :> (The "Special Trick") It's very handy trick indeed :>
