Body is perfect you should practise drawing the main more all in all its good

other than the tail being attached wrong, that is not a bad first try.

[Sir Wulfington 276]

This is clearly an image ripped from the show, with the mane and tail being the only parts that are original. It's not to say that you can't make it look really show accurate, you can, it's just really strange that the mane and tail are noticeably lower quality than the rest of it. Speaking of the mane and tail, the mane looks like it was melted over the pony's head, and the tail is on the side of the hip, when it should be located coming from the upper butt area.

 

In short, you took an image from the show, altered the body color, removed the mane and tail and made your own(with very little effort, it appears), and you didn't even bother to put the tail in the right spot, then you decided to try and pass it off as your own work. Well, I'm not fooled. This is a shameful attempt at plagiarism.

 

If you wanna be a real artist, than don't take over people's work and claim it as your own, and no, slightly altering bits of it doesn't make it not plagiarism.

Time pony, Don't feel too bad about your drawing  you'll get better it takes time !

Anyway  Timepony  Check out my Megaman X- 9 fan art in the Fan art  section of this forum  under titled Games !

Like the others said, you only did the mane and tail

This is not original

I know your new, but still

I would love to see you draw a pony on paper, without tracing or anything though, and then you can get some real critique, and be a real artist

And the tail is not in the right place, and the mane looks like melted green cheese. I recommend changing the mane and tail style

Practice!

K sketch ponies from the show while looking at pics of them then after that move onto memory drawing then create your own!

Use a planning sketch and draw and draw!

I doodle when i can for practice.

Ok for a 1st try

try drawing your own body though kk?

[Dddrgn 450]

Don't feel too bad, everyone starts somewhere, but I do encourage you to draw the body on your own instead of using a body ripped from a character creator or show. Your art will look more consistant that way. Remember that the hair attaches to the body, but the majority of it does not sit directly on top of the head, so it should be a bit bigger, and you should work on the tail placement.

[Wild Star 141]

yeah, um....if you draw something, draw it. dont just copy and paste the body and draw only the mane and tail yourself.

[The Time Pony 31]

Thank you everyone. Also I copied the base something which I've been told in quite common. But I really just wanted to try drawing the mane and tail.

Okay so tried to draw my own pony. No face though need practice.

Hey people, it's called using a BASE. It's something SEVERAL MS Paint pony artists use, and the finished pony images are called dolls or base edits. That's what this is. There are several FAMOUS pony artists on deviantART that use bases all the time, and just as many base artists. Chill out.

Looks nice. Just keep practicing more on the mane and tail and I'm sure you'll be able to improve over time.

He took a base model, removed the mane and tail, possibly recolored it, than added a mane and tail that he added. I'm saying he shouldn't take credibility for the entire thing, only what he did. He edited his post to say what parts of he did himself after I had already pointed it out.
