This also works for vectors made from other drawings or your own sketches. Frames from the show are used as an example because that's what most people do.
Using the show as a reference or looking at other vectors from the show is a great way to learn.
This is a tutorial for people interested in making fan art that looks exactly like the show, so please feel free to ignore it if you have no interest in that. I'm not going to try to convince you to watch ponies, I submitted this only to pony groups.
Updated Oct. 9 2012. Overhauled a lot of the wording, added some new images, fixed the slightly blurred images. And if you didn't see it already, there is now a part two to this that goes over how to make outlines and use nodes.
Thank you for this great tutorial. I recently just downloaded Inkscape and am working hard to figure out how to use it. I'm trying to make MLP vectors on it and I hope it goes well. Thank you again for this amazing tutorial!
I pointed this out on the club front page but I'll drop it here to.
Kinky Turtle, the one that did all the color guides, has updated through nearly all of S3 (no coronation dresses, but we have Games Ponies Play in there).
It doesn't have the tweaked guide for Tia's mane, but the rest are accurate.
