The circle should be about 5 centimeter (2.0 in) in diameter, or width. Draw it near the top of the page. This will become the face.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/03\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/03\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-2.jpg\/aid3260086-v4-728px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Draw another two circles, one directly beneath the first one and another roughly 10–12 centimeter (3.9–4.7 in) away, toward the other side of the page, about 2 centimeter (0.8 in) higher than the 2nd circle. These circles should measure about 3.5 to 4 centimeter (1.4 to 1.6 in) in diameter. Link the circles in a curved line. Don't worry your pony looks unrealistic compared to a real pony, it's supposed to!

Curve the legs towards the direction of the highest circle's side of the page. The front legs should be roughly 13 centimeter (5.1 in) long, and the back legs about 15 centimeter (5.9 in) long, making the hooves appear level.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/db\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-4.jpg\/aid3260086-v4-728px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

The line will be the iconic horn. Draw an ear approximately 2 centimeter (0.8 in) away from the horn, keeping it on the head (the horn should be around 4-6cm, depending on the princess, and the ear around 2cm).
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-5.jpg\/aid3260086-v4-728px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Draw two more lines coming from the first lines, curving them upwards. These lines will make up the skeleton of the wings.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/bc\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/bc\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-6.jpg\/aid3260086-v4-728px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Make this line as long or short as you want.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c7\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c7\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-7.jpg\/aid3260086-v4-728px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

You should be fine filling in the details from there. You can add your own details if you like.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/44\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/44\/Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-8.jpg\/aid3260086-v4-728px-Draw-an-Alicorn-Princess-from-My-Little-Pony-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

How do you draw an Alicorn Filly?

My little pony 4ever

Community Answer

Use the same guidelines, just make it smaller and look younger. You can look up baby princess Luna for inspiration to draw an Alicorn Filly, or you could look up Flurry Heart if you want inspiration for a baby Alicorn look.

Don't worry if you didn't get it correct straightaway, plenty of people don't!

Why not try to make a non-princess pony look like a Princess? That could look really cool, if done right!
