Draw a small pony horn in the middle of the bangs.
On the muzzle, draw a nose and draw the sections of the eyes of the Sparkle.
Now the muzzle needs to be given some details:

draw one line on the ear to make it look voluminous;
on the horn, make several horizontal lines parallel to each other;
draw pupils in the eyes, and cilia along their contour (on the right eye of Sparkle there should be only lower cilia, because her upper ones will be located, as it were, under the bangs);
The pony's mouth should be smiling, so draw a thin line in the part where it is located.

Now we connect the lower and upper ovals with two lines, drawing the neck. With exactly the same lines we draw long and slender pony legs.
Next, draw the tail of a small horse. It should be large and increase in volume at the bottom.
Now we draw the details on the torso of the Sparkle:

carefully draw a mane, which should occupy part of the body and muzzle (at the same time, no parts on the muzzle should close);
an asterisk and sparkles from it should be drawn on the thigh of Sparkle;
on the tail and bangs, make a few stripes that will add volume to them visually.
