How to Draw Nightmare Moon (MLP)

First you will draw the head. Start with a circle and curve out about halfway fo the nose/mouth. Then shape the armour around the head, inging the bottom down to where part of the neck will be. Add the ears, and the smaller details such as the mouth

Now let's add on the body. I didn't really draw a guideline for it so just follow along as best as you can. You will also add the wings, and the beginnings of what will be a chest plate amour with her cutie mark, the crescent, inside. There is also

Now for the two hind legs, this is a really simple step, and we aren't quite to the armour on her hooves yet. I don't really know how to really this one down, but I know that you can do it without my help.

Now for one of the front legs and the remainder of the chest plate armour we started earlier. This foot is almost exactly like the other two except, this one just goes straight down. The chest plate is the same design as the armour, and the crescent
