My new OC forgive the awful hair colouring in the first pic

If you're looking to improve, the last thing you want is for people to be too forgiving.

 

There's no apparent construction judging from how flat the character looks, there's little to no C and S curves, no lines of action, only one wing is visible in these three quarter front angles for some reason, I can't see the inside of the character's mouth in drawing 2, the facial expressions seem restricted (especially in drawing 2), and either the perspective is off, or the pose is unbalanced. (Why are the back legs crossing in drawing 2? Why is the right foreleg longer than left foreleg in drawing 1?)

 

Although I'm surprised you don't want people to talk about the hair colour. That should be the least of your worries at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback :) I know there is a lot to be improved upon :D i only started drawing ponies last week so it's good to hear where i'm going wrong hopefully practice will make perfect ;)

Your OC has an interesting mane... :) It makes me sorta curious what her personality is like, though I can at least tell that she's kinda cute :3

Well when i was doodling her i wanted to try out a longer mane as well as an alternative sorta pony :D so i guess she has a bit of emo style without all of the depressing poop :D

Would you mind showing me some of your art work if that's not too much trouble :D it will give me something to aim for :)

Sure. I probably should've done that to begin with.

You could also use screenshots from the show as references.

 

To be honest, I haven't drawn much MLP, but the same principles apply to most cartoons.

The character seems too disproportionate in comparison to how they are in the show. (Body too long, legs too short, eye too far back, and the top of the back ankle joint is stretched and pointed.) There still isn't any perspective (or at least consistent perspective). 

 

Before you draw something from another cartoon, you should break down the drawing, and learn how it's constructed, what the size releationships are, where the lines of action are/could be, etc.

 

Maybe you should take a look at this. It's probably a better teaching tool than me:

It's cool i get it this clearly isn't how i'm gonna get my cutie mark. I'll try something else other than drawing :D breathing is good :D I like breathing 

Nobody is expected to become a good drawer overnight. The only way you become good at drawing is by (as cliched as this sounds,) drawing over and over again.

 

But if you really don't enjoy it or don't have the patience for it, I won't make you keep drawing.
