This is my second pony sketch. Any tips on improving?

[zlogi 16]

This is my second pony sketch and i want to get some Tips on how i can improve on it. Stuff like things i can fix, things i can add. Or basically anything i can do to improve. 

 

The first one is the sketch i drew. And the second one is what i made it about ( its my brothers OC, Starlight Sky ).

Seems like it's good. But, I see some mistakes. The neck is too skinny and too long. The face should be just a little smaller. But, good job over all. I would give it a

7/10

Well my first suggestion is to get a scanner or at least a better quality picture of your work.

 

Looks good for your second drawing, although he's a little skinny near the front.

As usual, I'd have to say groovy attempt here.  I can definitely tell what it is which is a good start.

Being a self-proclaimed art critic I'll try and give you some of "Earl Hickey's Helpful Hints of Drawing Ponies and Other Items" straight out of my book: "Earl Hickey's Helpful Hints of Drawing Ponies and Other Items" (not in stores). 

 

The thing that strikes me most about your drawing here is how squared out the body of the ye ole pony is. If you maybe toss some radical curves in there to like totally beef it up a little it'll look a little more gnarly dude. 

Second, It doesn't seem proportional (but this statement may be incorrect due to a possible angle that you shot the photograph) on the chance the drawing is a tad bit un-proportional, I suggest to focus on mapping out where the main body parts fall instead of doing detail work just yet such as wings and whatnot. 

 

I also find it helpful to locate a good starting point to build off of during the course of your drawing. Some folk will say it's easier for them to draw it out in shapes and erase all the sketch marks, but I never found that to work. I always start with a eye or somethin' and build proportionally off of that so I can figure how I want the pose to look or what direction I want the pony to be looking, little stuff like that.

 

It is very important to grab your own style and technique when drawing and creating. Once you nail down a habit of how you draw something up whether it be a pony, bagel, boat or trailerpark, you'll have no problem getting what you want out of your drawing.

 

Keep on keepin' on bud.

uhhh, i...can't see a draw- oh in just messing with you. but seriously make the lines thicker, i can't see it well. but its alright, its a little disproportionate  and the bodies too flat, and its a little shaky, but I have that problem sometimes too :\ but it's Okay bottom line

5/10 It could be better, its not terrible but not good. keep working on it and you'll do better

Seems pretty good. I would criticise if I am actually able to do better but I can not even draw anything but logos for my dubstep albums (I blame graffiti on the street for this)

 

I'd probably say 9/10

It looks good enough. Maybe you can shade it in a little more? And if your going to color it, not to dark

Let me give it 8.5/10. You can always practice
