First OC sketch

[Mucha Nacho 17]

This is my OC (I call 'em Hazel), and he took me about 3 days to do, more accurately about 15-16 hours. I've never drawn a pony this detailed before in regards to colors so I'm sure there's flaws but whatever, I did my best! It's not in the best quality since it was just a basic free drawing program, I just used autodesk sketchbook express.

 

I used a Bamboo Wacom Pen/Touch tablet (pretty basic) but I do hope to upgrade some time in the future. It's only about six layers and on each were the eyes/tail, base color, darker shadowing, colored shadowing, mane (in that order) and then the background where  I put the initial sketch that I used as a reference and then erased it once I had most of the coloring in.

 

Alongside my tablet, I also hope to upgrade programs like photoshop or maybe a full version of sketchbook just so it's a higher quality and I have more tools to go nuts with. Hope you like it, I'll maybe try and do more, if not Hazel than something/somepony else maybe...K Thanks!

Hmmm, I really like your art style. It is very unique and interesting. I also really like the shading. You did a great job with that.

The only criticism I have is that the proportions are a bit off and the angle is a bit weird. But overall, you did a great job.

Wow, that's something I haven't seen often. I like it! It reminds me of the darker nighttime scenes in this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120630/

 

It's just how you've shaded things and how you've painted it really. It sort-of looks like that movie to me.

Yeah, this is my first one so I was really wingin it so next time I'll definitely make some improvements. I'm pretty crap with perspective so when I guesstimate, which I do a lot of, it can look awkward sometimes.
