Hope it's alright.

 

I hope to do more pony pictures, though I don't expect them to be as fulfilling as this one was to draw. Still a bit hopeful though n__n

That's fantastic! Looks like it'd be incredibly great as an avatar, too, given the dimensions and the pose ^^ A great job, nicely done.

Oh, that looks really good! You did a great job. Especially on the shades on her fur... it's just... stunning.

You, sir, deserve more replies.

Thank you. Wish more people felt that way. But since I need to fill at least 100 characters, I'm going to type more here, see? Okay, is that enough? lol 

 

For real, though, thanks n__n

Are you sure this is your very first pony picture you've drawn? Because it looks amazing, I can see you doing a lot of good stuff in the future with fan art.

Hello!

 

 

Oh it looks awesome! Of course, there's a bonus for drawing best pony . It may need some little adjustments, but, other then that, it looks incredible, and as Chaotic Discord said, it'd make a great avatar!

Amazing! I absolutely love the style and pose, very outstanding job for one of your first pony arts. You should really do more if you can, I'm sure everyone would love it if they liked this one!

Your sure this is your first pony picture, your at least not new to drawing, this picture is amazing.. It will probably end up in a Drawfriend post.. I can tell you one thing, and im sure i don't even have too, but you should really draw more ponies, you have what it takes.. This is just as amazing as any other art i've seen, she is definitely with the better pictures i've seen.. I can't really criticize her, it's just a very special pose, it's majestic. Just like Celestia should be, but tell me, are you used to drawing in general?

Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for your long comment n__n

First off, what's a Drawfriend post?

Second, yes, I'm very used to drawing; the rest if my deviantArt gallery can attest to that

Yes, I would love to do more pony pictures. I have, in fact (2 more recent ones in my dA gallery, however they aren't nearly as great as the Celestia pic; I feel I kinda got lucky with this one

reat as the Celestia pic; I feel I kinda got lucky with this one

A drawfriend post, it's at Equestriadaily.com, they put it up daily.. It's a compilation of art, you submit your art to Equestriadaily.com.. Then if your lucky they put it up in the post.. I have been trying, i've posted everything i made.. But i haven't been lucky with it, but i still try..

 

Second, that explains it then.

Also, no need to thank me, long commenting is what i do, somtimes.. Lol

This is your FIRST?!?!?!?!! Did I read that right???? This Is amazing. It needs to be colored like a propaganda poster and have "Obey" underneath it lol. So cool.

Yes, my first. And, yeah, I have been thinking it looks kinda... totalitarian, but I prefer to think of it as majestic (plus, the Celestia OBEY pic has been done a bit I think, still funny)

Yeah I know it's been done.... Maybe... SEIG HAIL!!!!!!!!! Something like that, or majestically, "Follow me" regardless, I think its great. (ramble)

Well thinking in the long-term I would say you should try to do more full-body art so you can get a better sense of how all the parts of a character fit together rather than drawing some part that looks good and then realizing that it's actually an extremely awkward position.

 

As for the actual drawing, you seem to have a good grasp of shading as a tool for dramatic effect but not so much for defining three dimensional form or the general spatial dynamics of lighting. There also seems to be some slightly poorly informed decisions with regards to keeping things in frame, specifically the left side of the necklace is distorted rather than allowing the pattern to extend beyond what is depicted, or extending the whole image in order to fit it at the right scale. The wing also appears to follow no real anatomical direction, appearing as a vague blob and far more angular than it should be. The pose and coloration are good though, and the overall composition is effective (though it does feel more imposing than majestic).

Thanks for the constructive criticism.

 

Well, I just made this up as I went along; didn't go into it with any idea, hence the awkward fitting into frame. Also, I've done some full-body pony pics, but nothing really inked and colored; just rough sketches really

 

I don't really go for 3-dimensional feel in many pictures, but it is something I've been thinking about trying. The necklace and the wing I got REALLY lazy on; I should have used more shading to imply the wing is bent, or at least more lines to show that. And, yeah, it IS more imposing than majestic lol
