Your style is amazing, love the detail and expressions. Shading looks nice too.

 

Just a question- is the lineart supposed to be all one color or not? Or is it even lineart at all? Its kinda hard to tell...

@, @,

 

@Queen Twii:
The line art colours are always based on the colours of the character. The teal-ish colour here works perfectly with the grey and the various shades of blue.

 

@Nai:
Awesome work. Though the shading is a bit confusing, but I think I get where the light is supposed to be coming from.

Hmm Now that I think about it. i should pick a point of light so the shaping matches the light source . thank you for the comment

Well done! Your style is great!

 

Yes it is possible to improve, but you drawing is amazing. You should not be so hard on yourself. 

I mean, my best MLP drawing up to date is this:

 

 

 

 

 

That said, I think there are some layering issues with the front legs.

This is amazing! I cannot criticize because it is too good. If you do signatures or avatars, I'd happily take one!

Okay so overall the drawing looks really good! There isn't much to criticise, but there are some things that you should pay attention to.

First of all the horn is placed a bit weirdly. It should be placed at the centre above the eyes and here it looks like it's coming from the side and the connection would be close to the ear. Not sure whether you sketch the whole horn and then just cut it out as the hair cover most of it. But it's an important thing to remember.
Also shadows - just pick one side that you'll be cel-shading the body. But it's a not a big issue and I don't think that many people pay attention to such things.

And clean you lineart a bit more. It is really good and looks neat but sometimes the lines overlap each other for example front left and back left leg. I know that people that want to achieve anime style sometimes make the eyes visible thru the hair lineart, but it's not the case and I think it would just look much nicer.

The last thing is that you could thin the pony out a bit. The part behind the neck could be a bigger curve insted of making a big oval, but it depends on the style so maybe you wanted it this way ^^

 

These are my thoughts, so maybe you'll consider them in the future drawings. I'm not a pro myself and such things may also vary depending on the style you're going for. The drawing itself looks really nice and I think the overlaping lineart is the only thing that most of the people might pay more attention to.

I like this style of drawing, and as the previous people mentioned before, there should be a light source to guide your shading. And maybe use more of the color palette to add some tint.

Not going against FrozenTear7 or anything, but I personally think that the placing of the horn that you did gave the drawing a 'cute' and 'cuddly' feel, especially with the ruffled and fluffy hair.

The highlights are alright (you can try experiencing other types), and consider using effects in photoshop to give it more umph.

Because from what I see, the drawing is adorable, but not memorable, you know? Blah I'm not making any sense. Well, happy drawing!
