Tried a drawing of Twilicorn

[Flutterbrony 10]

Please give honest opinions, this is my first pony drawing and I am quite proud of it.However I think I drew the body too long and the eye looks funny.

There are quite a few things that do need to be addressed, but this is a valiant first attempt and I do hope that you continue to draw.  Honestly, I do not believe the eyes came out as bad as you may believe and you have the mane and tail spot on.  The main trouble spot is the anatomy, where the mid section is a compressed and the legs are a bit thin and need a bit of structural correction.  However, all of this can be rectified with just a little reference, study and practice (which is so appropriate for Twilight!).

 

Even though these ponies are cartoons, they do still follow basic equine anatomy for the most part.  Looking at the skeletal structure of a horse will give you a much better insight on how these creatures are built and how they move.

 

There are also a plethora of references out there for not only equine anatomy, but for how to draw ponies as well.  Here are a couple rather expansive ones right here that I do hope you find beneficial. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And if you have any other questions, I am always here to lend a helping hand...or hoof.  But this is the most important thing to remember above all else: just have fun!  Good luck and happy drawing!

Thanks a lot for your help! I will continue to draw and I will take your advice, this was very helpful!

It's a good start and there's no need to be too hard on yourself. First of all the body is too long, and the line of th stomach is curved oddly. Also, the legs are too straight, make sure you distinguish the back hooves from the front in their shape. Keep it up, you did well with her mane and tail

Most of the people pointed a lot of stuff put lol!

But I did notice, that some lines are going up and down, as I you don't have a steady hand.

Just keep practicing!

This. Go look at this. This is accurate.

 

You got Twi's mane and tail almost perfectly, though.

Good start, just keep up the practice and even read some guides and such if you really want. But really the only way to improve well is by doing ^^

That's good for a first time! When I first tried, it was a weird looking Twilight Sparkle. Good job!

Thank for all the help you guys! I tried again and it has turned out a lot better, sadly my camera won't work so I can't share our with you!

For a first attempt, this is rather good. Pretty much everything I would say has already been said. 
...Wait, there is one thing. Since this is your first drawing, as you said, you should look at pictures on the interwebs and try to copy those. Draw lightly at first, so you can easily erase and fix any mistakes. I can also give you a reference on pony heads to help you. Again, this is great for a first attempt, and I can't wait to see more.

Quick edit: It took me six minutes to type all of that. Dayum.

I forgot to mention, this was done as a speed drawing in 5 mins. so I didn't have time to look up images on the internet.
