Done a few drawings, starting on a few weeks ago.






I can say the first one is my first time drawing my OC, and actually it looks nicer than the other three.
The last one is the latest I've drawn and I consider it the worst among all.

gosh, I just need some somple tutorials.
well, good night.

They look really good! The second one's face looks a bit odd, but other than that one occurance it's awesome!

well, I'm drawing a "serious"-kind of face. so.. :/

Tutorials? It looks like you already followed some! (looks at erased pencil circle marks) There are a few odd proportions and since these are your first times, what I suggest is just: have confidence in yourself, and practice. Draw your OC (and/or other ponies) more and find out ways you can improve.

Great OC.But I couldn't make out the cutie mark until the 3rd drawing.In the second one he should be laying/sitting down it looks weird with just its 2 legs.Everything else is just great

Here's my critique of your first picture
You've got really great basic shape understanding. The body portions are perfect, the eyes are the proper size and it's great to see such mastery of the ear shape!
I really like the mohawk too, it's very unique for an oc
However he is missing a tail. You can add the tail is from the top of the back bump (his flank) sweeping down to just above where his back legs start.
All this is a sketch, you might wanna make a clearer copy. You can trace the lines with a sharpie or pen and then erase the pencil lines to create a cleaner finish.
This also makes it better for scanning since you can then digitally colour it.
I suggest using Paint.net it's free and easy to use

The mohawk, haha yea, it is great.
And yes, I forgot to put the tail, because from the view at the drawing, I think that the body is blocking the tail view. Thanks for the tip though.

have confidence in yourself, and practice - that quote I like, thanks.
Draw your OC (and/or other ponies) more - I usually draw them when I feel like it. And also, I don't always draw ponies like the Mane 6 or so, because following their design is waaaaaaaaay tiring. But I'll see.

Thanks for all the encouragement!

I draw them whenever too, but I don't find their designs too challenging, maybe except Rarity and Pinkie (not used to drawing their mane and tail)

Cutie marks only go on the right flank

It also goes on the left.

[ShadowLadyEsme]

It also goes on the left.

I don't think so, I very rarely ever see them on the left except for fanart.

Odd, nevermind. Must've been some animation mistakes.

It's okay.

For once, I completely agree with Shank.

It's great for your first time! As a suggestion, I personally would have given the second picture a different pose, since it's pretty hard for a pony to stand on his hind legs in that particular position.
