One of the more theoretical things I've written but in a way, it helps make sense of a lot of things artists do. Some of this I picked up glancing around with texts about drawing manga, but luckily it turns out that my time wasn't entirely wasted.

Also check out what I've written for

Wow... reading this made me feel like I just sat through a university-level art class.

Nice work.

I love your tutorials. Very insightful, and I love that you give the reasoning behind things and leave us to use that information however we will.

However they will look, I hope they will have a ton of variety. I think part of what makes G4's art style shine from past generations is the sort of variety they had. A lot of ponies from past generations (as far as I've seen them anyways) looked very similar, except maybe having younger fillies which are practically just shrunken regular characters.

Makes sense, mostly. My foal OC's got a slightly different build compared to the norm, though, but the head and body are still in foal proportions. At least they should be. I made him bulkier than usual, which makes his head smaller in proportion. One thing I didn't see, btw, was the effect hair has on the general appearance. I messed around with different hairstyles and it turns out that having a big head of hair can go a long way to making the head look smaller or bigger.

But anyhow, this noob found the explanation useful. Thank you, and I hope many artists can benefit from it.
