Would you mind some helpful critique? Accompanied by visual aid.

 

I don't want to strike a nerve or anything, so I thought it was best to ask first.

Well, the good news is that I can tell you were trying to use proper anatomy from your sketches. However, there are points in which this falters a bit. Pony bodies, for instance, should never be perfectly rounded or oval. Just like normal horses, their spines bend naturally. If you want to correct this, I suggest beginning with basic shaped (circles) where you want the chest and flank to be. It might not look perfect at first, but you'll improve quickly this way opposed to trying to sketch the body without any sort of guidance lines.

 

For instance -

 

You can clearly see that I used circles as guidance in this image of Alora, but I over exaggerated the slopes (it's old). However, after a while I began to notice these simple mistakes and began to improve on my anatomy. As seen in the following:

 

 

PS: Tis also an old image

 

 

 

 

I also want to point out that the guidance lines you used on the face are too dark (it's difficult to see which lines are actually part of the image and which lines are simply for guidance).

 

Also, a 1/3 view of a pony face is never perfectly round because the muzzle protrudes off of the face. 

 

For instance:

 

Note how you can still tell that the head is rounded, but the muzzle protrudes off of the circle guideline on Stardust. If you want to stray from the basic MLP style, you can also try adding attention the cheekbone of the pony, as seen int he following image of Eris (OLD IMAGE).

 

 

 

 

Circle guidelines also help when figuring the anatomy of the pony's shoulder. This will help you determine where the contour of the leg should go (typically begins towards the front of the circle).

 

For instance:

 

In this (old) image, you can plainly see that the contour of the hind leg warps around the ball of her flank. This is also important to keep in mind for the forelegs.

 

 

To be honest, it is much easier to make profile images than to make 1/3 view images, because the shape is very easy to do. I suggest beginning with this before trying to 1/3 view, so you can get a taste for the anatomy.

 

Note this  (unfinished)sketch for reference:

 

If you look closely, you can see the guidance lines on her face. Also, note that I draw my faces differently than typical.....that isn't normal, I just like to do that.

 

 

The best advice I can give you is to go and study some images for reference.

Yes, my DA account is NekromantiaFox. I'm assuming you have one then? I'll be adding some new images here soon just so you know. I certainly hope my critique helps.
