EDIT:
Feb 12, 2013: Moar content.
Jan 2, 2013: Changed name of the series for 'marketability' reasons, added a few tidbits.
Dec 3, 2012: Edited to be more objective

If there are stupid errors, bad phrasing, or anything else which makes these notes less awesome, don't be afraid to point it out.

The example I pulled as an example of a totally comical art style is from Edd, Edd, n' Eddy. Like the pics of MLP, I consider its usage fair use.

Haven't read the whole tutorial yet, but just as a point of interest, in a relaxed state, my whole iris shows. So it cant be claimed that it is the case for all humans. Not a criticism of the tutorial, just a point of interest.

This is a lovely tutorial, but I have to disagree about humans being the only ones that use eyes to gauge social cues. I can't speak for animal social structure in general, but cats definitely use eyes in their body language. The old "cat staring contest" isn't just a humorous thing, it's a threatening dominance thing (it's essentially perceived as agressive to stare at a cat for too long, this is part of why they tend to like people who aren't cat people... they don't stare at them). Cats vary how much of the white of their eyes shows when they're really upset to show extreme distress or agression (much like horses, although I don't know if horses read that cue from each other).

As a casual watcher (VERY casual, haven't rewatched any episodes yet), I never actually noticed Cadence's eyeliner... Funny enough that may also be because none of the fanart I have of her has it either! O.o
Wonder why?
Fantastic tutorial series btw! Not an artist myself but reading this is quite enjoyable anyway.

Are they? All I figure is that human were a bit different as other animals paid attention to other things like ears.

You accidentally typed 'or' twice in the paragraph right after you added highlights to Ms. Doodle's eyes. =D
