Opinion on my vector?

[Veritum 257]

Hello! I am fairly new to illustrator and I have been practicing a bit. Below you will will find my first full-out vector of a pone, sketched and then transferred to my PC, then outlined and colored, all in illustrator. I think it turned out pretty well for a first, but if you see anything off let me know as I am also trying to learn pony anatomy.

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Okay this link breaks like every 3 seconds, I'm done. It's attached at the bottom.

 

 

 

 

I believe the hair may be a bit smaller than in the show, but after outlining the strokes I REALLY didn't feel like moving it all the way over

It looks nice to me,however the anatomy isn't perfect,but neither is the shows from time to time depending on the particular moment. 

Good job as far as im concerned.

Looks good, but the anatomy in the head and the neck is strange, because the size of the head is pretty small in comparison and it looks like she doesn't have no neck at all.

Yea, if I were to remake this I would make the head slightly larger and probably make the chin more noticeable. Thanks for your input!

It was nothing.

You're welcome.

Hm. I'm a stranger illustrator so I'm afraid I can't give any helpful advice program wise.

Edit: When I vectored back in the day I used Inkscape. 

 

However, a few things stuck out to me.

The body is a bit long. It almost looks a bit like a weiner-pony.

The front right leg is very beefy. Try to have it taper towards the shoulder next time. And the hoof looks a bit rough as well.

The left hindleg doesn't have a pronounced hock like the right one does. (It's that little dip in the leg where the joint is.)

Her eye seems to be at a jaunty angle. Almost like it's tilted forward into her jaw area. I'm not completely sure if it's supposed to look like that. If so, don't worry about it.

 

You did do really well on a few parts though. The head and face conforms almost perfectly to the show's style.

The mane flows nicely along her back. Good call there.

The color and lining within the mane and tail are very nicely done.

 

Did you trace any part of this or use any bases or references for your sketch?

 

I don't mean to be nitpicky or anything. Don't take any of this wrong. Your really good at this and I can see a great vector artist in the works here.

I can't actually find what I used for a reference, but it was pretty much the same exact pose. I was seeing how well I could sketch it using that as a reference, then rebuild it using illustrator. I also used this as a reference at a few points: 

 

Yay, attack of the removed picture. It's attached below now:

I think it looks really good. Way better than I could do for sure! Seems like a very hard position to draw a pony in. The position of the pony when you draw really makes all the difference in difficulty and this one in partilcular definately does Not look easy to draw! Good job
