My first attempt at a FULL pony..

[PinkieFry 91]

Well. It's not HORRIBLE. So that's good. But her body is still not right. I did it free hand and from memory so that also greatly affected the outcome of her.. I also regret using a pencil and coloring it in... She'd have a royal purple coat, bright pink/purpleish hair with darker pink accents. I call her Nova Shine... =P She's my ponysona. Oh. the text says "~I wish I could be a pony. No pony is depressed in Equestria~"

Critique me. Or comment. Whatever you see fit.

This is really impressive,nice work dude!

You did great, nice art

[SrFrog 927]

Just a couple of things, forehead needs to be a bit more rounded and the back legs feel flat. Overall, it's still pretty good

[meechkk 121]

Try using circles before you draw her, that always helps. But good job, from memory! Once you master that, you'll be moving her around in different positions in no time (try not to take that the wrong way) haha

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you!

Circles are for squares! I'll do what I can. Thanks!

Looks awesome, maybe I should draw some when I am at school.

That's really good looking, I wish I had that kinda talent! My piano pales in comparison. Keep it up

No worries, man. Constructive criticism is the best kind.

I was much worse on my first attempts at full body... I've got the whole thing down to a science now... an inexplicable science... I just wish I had a tablet...

[Mephala 2,633]

Dat. Dat pony wayyy up there. ^AWESOME.

[Dragonshy 2,305]

[RainbowDashie 767]

[Speedy Transition 788]

That really good for a first! But you should make the tushy bigger!!

I was afraid I'd make it too big. So I ended up fixing it like 20 times. XD But I will definitely make a bigger booty next time.

Sorry if I sound Nit-Picky but I'm here to help.

 

In comparison to her head, her body is a bit small.

The back leg is a bit short and could use a bit more of a bend.

The joint of the back leg should probably bend a bit less.

You have the joint of the front leg bend forward, when it should bend backward a bit.

The snout comes out a bit too much as well.

 

A pony's body is basically 2 identical circles next to each other.

 

Maybe this will help.

(I made it to help ClapClop with his OC but it's still relevant here.)

 

The difference here is that the snout would be rounded for a mare rather than "boxy" for a stallion.

Pony anatomy can be kind of tough to understand. This is a good first try, but everyone has room for improvement! Next time you watch, pay close attention to how the characters move. That'll help you move on to more dynamic poses.

 

As for figuring out general proportions and anatomy and whatnot, this tutorial has been a BIG help for me:

 

(I ganked this off of 4chan some time ago, so I don't know the source. If anypony else does, let me know so I can give credit where credit is due c: )

Fir a first it's actually really good
