Ponies are horribly hard to draw, I think, because of their anatomy. I mean, the fact that it makes no sense XD
It took me a while to figure out how to draw Pinkie standing up. It was actually this picture [link] that helped me figure it out.
'Course, just a still of her standing like that in Bridle Gossip may have helped, too, but maybe not as much? I just totally forgot to even look at stills more, though, for different poses and stuff--the very best way to learn how to draw a character in different ways is to look at how that character's drawn in different ways in the source material, after all. I really should start doing that more often again; I guess after I got some pony basics down I kinda stopped.
Also, another way my pony-poses were helped, besides the skeleton, is because I've seen pretty much every piece of art in Lauren Faust's gallery here on dA. Somehow, it was really helpful, kind of seeing how SHE drew, because then I kind of know where to start and how to go from there. How to make it my own style. She has a lot of pony sketches. It's like the stills, basically XD
