Derpy Art: Alicorns

[Bird Mom 902]

So I was sitting in math class with a pencil trying to review in my mind how to draw an alicorn. I drew this and it seemed pretty right! I need constructive criticism please!(Muzzle might need more work.)

It's great start but the #1 thing I gripe about is it's a little TOO skinny. Add a little more curves and make your lines a little less sloppy. The tail also needs less "scribble lines", meaning tiny little lines that stick out. Lastly, the muzzle is a little too pointy. Again, curves can fix this. 

 

All in all it's a great work that just needs a little refinement.

Body is too skinny, and the bends in the back legs are too high up. If you look at real horse anatomy there is a gentle

slope down on either side, and on the front left leg the elbow bend would be higher. It would probably be helpful for

you to look at some real horse anatomy and sketch it out to get a feel for how things work. Wings have three joints,

they have an elbow bend in the middle just like an arm does. Even it if the wing is straight up, you would see a slight

dip in the middle and then the end feathers would go straight up and not fold over as you have them. Again, looking at

wing anatomy would be good, there are tons of good wing tutorials hanging around that know more than I do. Muzzle

is too thin, and the the neck is too thick. Where your neck meets the base of your skull it does trim in a little and is not

the width of your head. I would also add in ears, without them it looks a bit awkward and even if the mane comes across

their head the ears would stick out. Even if you are going for a show style the rules still apply, so just keep practicing.

The horn is a bit off and the pony seems a fair bit underweight. The first bend in the knee should be further up and the hocks(the things that stick out at the top of the hind legs) need to be more smooth and flowing. The muzzle is bends inwards instead of outwards and the wings are a disproportional. As has been said before, I highly suggest you study real equine anatomy to get a better feel for it. I hope this hasn't come across as nitpicky or rude, I do not mean to hurt your feelings, only better you in the art field.

 

Good luck in future and keep going at it
