Ashton Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I put up my first piece of Pony art on my DA today, and while I'm overall content with it, I'm not happy with certain aspects (especially the backgrounds) Anyone willing to take a look and offer suggestions?

Angie Cakes Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 overall it looks pretty good, but the anatomy is a bit off. there are three things you need to touch up on, then I think it will look great one thing that really stands out is the neck. it pokes outwards at the top, when it should actually poke inwards (even on a real horse, the neck pokes in).the second thing is that overall, the pony is stretched out too far horizontally. the legs, body and head are all a bit too widethe final thing is that the horn is placed a bit too high on the forehead. it seems strange, but the horn should almost be between the eyes (not quite, but close)I hope this doesn't come off as harsh, I'm just trying to help. right now you have a great start, and it's better than a lot of pony art that I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horn... that does sound strange... I'll see what I can do about it tooI hope this doesn't come off as harsh, I'm just trying to help. right now you have a great start, and it's better than a lot of pony art that I've seen Oh not at all! I couldnt ask for a nicer critique! I'll work on those and try again on another OC (I have 1 OC of my own - that one I showed you was done for my DM as an xmas gift) and hopefully by friday I'll have something new to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 hi hiWhile this is just a suggestion, you might also want to consider not putting a cleft in the front of the hind legs. At least in the ponies on the show, the leading edge of their hind legs are usually one continuous curve unless they're sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that into account when I draw Dunes (my own OC) Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
