I'm looking for a good tutorial on how to draw ponies using Adobe Illustrator. Since I haven't found a good one, I'd like to know if anyone else has found a good one.

What I do is look at the shapes of certain poses of ponies. I try to copy them completely. after that I copy the base but use my own OC skin on it for instance, accesories, mane style etc. once youve learned how the ponies generally look you can start using your own poses.

its a bit shortly sayd but its a technique I used to learn how ponies look. and applying the style too my work.

Don't worry Laser it is simpler then it looks if you are just now beginning it is probably easier to use other ponies that have already been drawn as a base and sort of use that recolor it and add your own style and technique don't worry if you don't like just recoloring other ponies that have already been made its only temporary it's just so you can get used to the pony anatomy and soon you can draw your own things without drawing over already made art it's like everything else the more you practice the better you get I hope that helps I'm probably not the one who should be talking though I still have a lot of practice ahead of me.

You don't 'suck', you just have a different style. Of course, if you want to learn to draw in that same style practice makes perfect. I'd also recommend the guide that smugglepie suggested, I used that to draw my first pony an it turned out pretty well.

Apart from that, all I can say is CIRCLES. Learn to draw a circle, and think about circles while you're drawing a pony because they're completely themed around circles. (Like most things are, mind you). Circles and ovals.
