critique wanted Looking for opinions on my latest drawing

[fare67t 242]

Anyone care to give a little critique and/or advice on this?

My style of doing things is to eyeball some references, drawing the picture out as a little sketch with a pencil IRL, then scan the drawing and digitialize it via SAI, filling in the colors and details afterwards.

In my opinion, this is the most detailed / probably best looking drawing I have done for MLP things, so excuse any slight pride over it

I think it looks amazing

It is certainly is a work to be proud of, very nice, my biggest critique would be in regards to the tail, the mane is quite large and full and the tail seemingly much too small, especially in comparison.

Pretty good so far. I would just point out an issue with the legs.

Notice how the legs that are closest too the viewer are touching the ground? They're making contact at two different heights, making it look like her legs are uneven. I show it here with red lines:

Spoiler

And while I can't show it very easily with visuals, I can definitely tell that the leg she has lifted up is much longer than the other three.

Keep it up!

Like I said, I eyeball some references, in this scenario it was a drawing / render of Nightmare Rarity from the IDW comics. So if the tail is too small, blame that OG picture kinda x3

I've technically only had like...3 weeks or so of practice for my art skills, so ofc some things are going to be off / weird. But thanks ^^

Ah I see. But still, telling you it’s perfect isn’t going to help you get better. You’ve got a good starting point, but keep on pushing.

Oh I know, I appreciate the feedback, honestly.

Oh, it's quite lovely! I do enjoy the color palette, and the mane is simply luxuriant! I do think you should try to make the mane and tail match a little better, though.

I did some adjustment to make it more consistent and "realistic".Here is the 4 major improvements worth doing.

It looks good for the record... I DO like it

But the hair coloring doesn't feel right and her outline makes is almost feel like a really bad OC...

But again, I like it and I am not an artist..
