Very helpful and will continue to be for quite some time! Here's my first attempt (I might have sort of skipped the mane and tail):

This is a good technique, but I almost never use anything like it haha. Probably should, but the few times I have tired it, everything came out weird quite quickly.

my weird thing is, that i can draw them easier from the eye, (so the complete picture) then a tutorial with those circles and lines and shapes that result into the final piece 0-0

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

To be blunt: Your understanding of volumes. It's easier to see a pony, flat as she is, and not see the volumes that make her up. Getting to know the spheres and cylinders that make up a pony will help you to be able to create your own pony poses.

....i DO see the cylinders and such, it's more that if i want a certain pose, taking 3 different pictures and drawing it myself OR take a picture i can draw it directly, instead of following each and every single step with cilinders.

examples of "volumes" in original poses.(oldest to newest, the oldest still has a flaw with a leg)

Then the cylinders aren't necessary to draw. If they've been internalized then there's no reason to throw them around everywhere.

"Questions, comments, queries, concerns?"
My physics teacher used to say this all the time. Anyway, nice tutorial, should be very useful for a beginner like me.
