i mean yeah, but the best i can do is a oil brush, i use paint 3d, i took a shot, its gonna be my signature soon, but here 

I took  a shot, its small but i tried the hair, kinda good, but heres me trying to take the shot on the big canvas.

i hope you understand 

 

it doesnt look good to me on the big canvas, but i tried hard on the small canvas

[CutieMarkCrusaders1 13]

I Like using the oil brush but yea it isnt that great at the canvas

Hmmmm... Is it alright to know how old you are? So I'd know how much to expect from your talent and techniques i can introduce to you...

Where do you draw? And what app?

[CutieMarkCrusaders1 13]

i dont like to mention about age. but i can tell you that i use paint 3D sometimes paint

sometimes i use Ibis paint

[Evil Pink One 12,968]

Okay....hmmm what device do you use for drawing? On a computer or a tablet or on a phone? Do you use A mouse? A pen or fingers? 

I use my cellphone, and use my fingers for drawing... It's what im comfortable with.

Anyway i suggest you practice on drawing on the fundamentals like guide lines and outlines

Heads up;

To start off with pony art it's very good to look up some pony anatomy, that way you learn to understand better how stuff works and make it easier for you to draw them too, there's quite a few tutorials and tips on it on deviantart x>

Also.. there are some art programs that are free and have more brushes to work with if you're looking for something that can make it more detailed too.

You basically draw a circle for the head,
the body is more bean shaped :>

Hm yup.... I think you need better tools... @Pandora is right to point out you need different tools and brushes.

I use sketch app in my cellphone... Well it's not the best like photoshop... But i has no time for very big detailed stuff 

 

"Paint sai" is good though! I easily learned there than photoshop.

But it all depends on where you are comfortable.

But for now practice drawing circles on paper.... Then when using an app. Or a tool, Try making a circle.... And if your hand drawn circle is much much much more better than your digital circle.... Then that app. Or tool has bad accuracy and maybe should try finding a better tool or app.

Oh and @Pandora is one heck of a good artist... Whatever she recommends.... Im aure you wont go wrong.

ibis paint is a very good app, i recommend one of these pencils with rubber tips for phones, or a sonar pen if you can (those use the audio jack but are really good)

my recomendations would be to practice your lines  drawing only the upper area of the body to no burn yourself in one draw.

 

Spoiler

everything depends on how much practice you have and how much patience you put in one draw.

always!

Spoiler

ALWAYS 

use references, with references you will develop a style and will understand how stuff work (even tracing but thats just for study purposes)

i wouldn't use bases 

 

thats just my opinion, im not an expert or anything so, take it or leave it
