EDIT... And... It's upside down. Isn't that wonderful. And so is Sweetie. Also wonderful. Sweetie /

 

 

 

This is probably upside down too, but here are my newest OCs made with a pencil, pen, and two high liters.

Well, first, you could turn it right-side up.

 

Second, the nose seems a little long. Or is that a muzzle? Eh, whatever it's called, it seems slightly elongated.

i think its pretty good, espicially since you just started. oh yeah, also the picture is upside down. just saying. pretty good, though

As Kelvocity said, the nose/muzzle is a little too long *Turns laptop upside down to get better view* Body also seems too long.

I think, in the future you might want to ink the wings before the back because the line of the back is visible. The nose is also a little long, and the smile is placed a little too far forward. Its kind of hard to look at it when its upside down, but other than that this is a very good drawing.

Really my best critique would be to use some other kind of paper. Graph paper might be helpful for porportions but isn't really good for showing off colored works, regular printer paper is only marginally better, personally I use heavy wieght cardstock, its inexpensive, fits through both printer and scanner and absorbs colors from markers and pens and pencils while maintaining thier intended vibrance and with minimal bleeding.

Also on RD her wings look like an after thought, you've got a line drawn straight through them giving them a ghost like quality. Make your initial sketch very light so things like this can easily be erased then go over the sketch again and make heavier lines only where they are needed.

 

You obviously have a skill for drawing them as they are in the show, really well done and the colors themselves are about spot on. I don't see any really obvious mistakes other than what i've mentioned so i'd say you've got a good start. keep going .

Oh, and I almost forgot to add, Rainbow Dash seems to have gained a bit of weight. (She's kinda chubby) Although I assume those proportions are rather hard to get right.

 

 

I just use long words and descriptions.

I had realized that I had forgotten the wings after everything else xD, so that's why it's like that.

 

@ Kelvocity, Proportions are pretty hard...

 

@ Xero1, graph paper is all I've got right now... I will work on getting card stock after I get my allowance xD

I didn't just start... I have done many other requests, you know....... You can even ask Party Cannon!

 

I would provide links, but I can't find the threads... XD.
