1 With an HB pencil, I sketch the bulk of the pony onto a sheet of tracing paper. I use overlapping ovals for the chest, body, and haunches. Then I place the gentle curves of the neck, blocking in the head with short, angular strokes. I also add ovals to block in the curvature of the jaw and muzzle.
