Newbie Pony Art

[Bomb Sheep 77]

My first pony art. (It's my second OC) Sorry if it looks bad/improportional (Improportional is not a word but you get what I mean). I do not have enough experience/equipment/camera lighting. Please rate and criticize to help me get better. (Edit: Can't upload it, sorry. I need to upload it later)

If you can't give good criticism, don't.

The coloring is a bit messy, you seem to work with some kind of watercolor/watercolor pencils. I advise you to use smaller brushes or be more careful when using them.

You should try to practice and study more pony/equine anatomy, because the front leg is too thick or the joints are "broken" (cf: the back leg).

The head design is really good tho, you should just work more on the body anatomy and coloring !

i don't mean to put you down and hope you only that this as constructive and use it to better the next picture you mane, if its honest criticism you are after all i really have is the colouring/art style is actually really nice.
the head looks a little darker than it needs to be and the legs are a bit thick IMO (not sure if you where going for that or not, i personally like things closer to the shows style so expect a bit of bias in my opinion.
a pony's back legs shouldn't bend that way and the horn seems to point straight up relative to the head when it should be more of a 45
other than that i actually quite like it. especially the glowing effect around the cane thing.

@@FullmoonDagger, Thanks for the criticism. I'm really bad at drawing ponies (that was my first attempt at drawing one) and I'll take into consideration my use of brushes.

@@JU88snow, Thanks too. Read above.

Good to see you again @@Bomb Sheep!

 

I like how this looks like a cave-painting, like it's telling the tale of days long past. After you get more practice in with proportions (look up a few character models from the show for reference) , Experiment with perspective angles. Otherwise, you can really take advantage of the cave-painting aesthetic and try to make a narrative in pictures. Keep it up, pal!
