applesjck 5,602 December 11, 2019 Share December 11, 2019 (edited) I just finished up a new OC and I think she's super cute! She's not very fleshed out yet (I still have to give her a name ) but so far I really like her! Critique is welcome, but please be kind about it! I'm still very new to this whole drawing thing. Update: her name is Cosmic Stone!

That's adorable! I love it so much. The left eye should be a bit smaller than the right, since the left one is slightly farther away from the other (if that makes sense). Here's an example of the whole eye thing with my OC, Emerald Heart: Do you get what I'm talking about? 2 Big thanks to @The Wife of Hawks, @Trix or Treatand @Splasheefor these images!

ShadOBabe 19,013 December 11, 2019 Share December 11, 2019 (edited) Aww, that's even better than the last one! The only niggle I have is the torso/waist, espeically the stomach. She kind of looks like she's sucking in her tummy to look thinner. If you're trying to get as close to show style as possible, ponies usually have a bit of downwards curve to their bellies: Spoiler Even the thinnest ponies like Fleur here have flat stomachs, not inward curves: Spoiler Oh and check this out. It can help you get a better grasp on the skeletal structure of a horse by comparing it to your own skeleton: Edited December 11, 2019 by JingLBabe 1 Check out my artwork any time: http://shadobabe.deviantart.com/ "OMG; You are such a troll.

Update: her name is Cosmic Stone! (thank you @Frosted Heart for helping me out with the name ) I must say that this is pretty good for a first character sketch; and don't worry, art is difficult for everyone at first, you just have to keep practicing. I especially like the colour choice for your OC, the different shades of blue go really well together. I do have one piece of advice, but you don't necessarily have to take it. The thing I want to comment on is the eye colour. Most of your OC is blue, and the eyes are a darker shade of blue. I like to think that the eyes are shining beacons which can help to others to identify the character more easily; but if the eyes are a similar colour to the rest of the body, they will simply blend in. Take Applejack for example, she has mostly bland colours in her mane, body, and even her hat. Her eyes, however, are a brilliant green which stand out from the rest of her features, but ultimately tie together to create a great appearance. Since your OC has a yellow comet as a cutie mark, you could make her eyes golden to reflect the stars she gazes upon each night (If that's what she does). Hope this helps, and just remember to keep practicing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splashee 28,566 December 29, 2019 Share December 29, 2019 Really good drawings @applesjck! I like your drawing style! I usually draw in software so I can correct many things as I draw. Uneven sizes, different shapes, all can be adjusted. Ctrl+Z (undo) is like the most used command while drawing. But also using a lot of layers, and drawing a new version of a previous sketch, and sometimes realizing the last sketch was better. It is quite fun. I am using a tablet to draw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have any software to draw on, sadly. I wish I did though! I hate drawing on paper.
