How to draw Princess Luna | MLP

If you’ve ventured into the magical realm of Equestria, chances are you’ve been captivated by the elegance and charm of Princess Luna. Whether as the enchanting moon-raiser or her intense alter ego, Nightmare Moon, Princess Luna stands out with her distinctive appearance and intriguing backstory. Delving into our guide on how to draw Princess Luna will not only refine your artistic skills but also bring you closer to the magical world of My Little Pony.

Understanding Princess Luna’s Appearance

• True Blue Beauty: Boasting a dark blue coat and blueish green eyes, Princess Luna’s color palette exudes nighttime elegance. Her flowing mane, resembling a river of stars, adds to her celestial charm.
• Symbol of Night: Her cutie mark, a half-crescent moon, is a testament to her duty of raising the moon and stars over Equestria.
• Dual Personality: The transformation from Princess Luna to Nightmare Moon brings a change not only in attitude but also in appearance. As Nightmare Moon, Luna appears older and emits an aura of menace.

Once you master Luna, consider adding her elder sister, Princess Celestia, to create a beautiful canvas depicting the day and night rulers of Equestria.

Demystifying the Drawing Guide

Our guide is designed with a unique color-coded system to facilitate a smooth drawing experience:

• Red Color: Indicates the current step. Focus here.
• Black Color: Highlights the lines drawn in previous steps.
• Grey Color: Reveals the basic proportion sketch. Remember, always begin with a light pencil sketch for easy adjustments.

We have broken down the drawing process into 15 comprehensive steps. Starting with the basic sketch to understand proportions, you will gradually add details, refining Princess Luna’s form. Upon reaching the final step, you have the option to ink your sketch. It’s crucial to wait for the ink to dry before gently erasing the pencil marks to avoid smudging. The concluding image showcases a fully colored rendition of Princess Luna, serving as a perfect color reference.
