Well first tip: You're not restricted to ponies. You can make your OC a non-pony if you want.

But if you're dead set on making a pony, first step is usually picking which of the pony races you want it to be. Your favorite colors are a good option for colors.

@JingLBabe       so lets say like an equestria girls style character or bat pony is also still good ? okay! thanks for the tips!!! what app or thing do you recommend using for beginners to art?

Sure that's fine if that's what you want! There's also griffons, zebra, dragons, changelings... heck my character is an ahuizotl.

Hmm... that's a harder question. I'm a good artist, but a terrible teacher. I always recommend people learn to draw their characters themselves, but if you want some more advanced looking artwork while you wait, you can allwys request or commission other artists. There's a section for it on this forum along with a section to get tips and critique on your own art.
