 Maggie Says: Wow! thats a doodle??? thats awesome! and I've never seen just like an anthro horse! thats really cool! Anyway this is a very nice doodle so I dont know why you think you need some faith in your art! I don't know if there is much I can help you with on this picture besides picky things, but every little bit helps. On the arm the is the closest to the viewer, I think you should dispose of that little line at the bend of the elbow. I know you were probably just trying to add some detail, but it makes it looks a little unnatural, but it looks fine on the other armI think. Adding some detail to accent her elbow on the closer arm would certainly help though. Right now it just looks a little like both arms are bending the same way when, with her hands in her pockets, they are actually doing the opposite. Anyway! If that made any sense at all (or even if it didn't ^_^) I'll move on. her pocket should maybe be a little bigger casue its a little small and makes it looks like she has a very tiny hand, and you might want to give her a little more hips. her bottom-region (^_^) seems to be the same width across as her waist, making it looks like she has no hips..but these are just little picky things that I hope may help in the long run though! this is a really great doodle and you shouldnt ever have any doubt in your abilities! good luck!

Keiiii Says: That's so cute~! ^O^ Even though you shouldn't draw on test papers... Hee. Anyway~ Methinks her arms are looking a bit odd. It's the same thing Maggie pointed out... I'm bad at explaining this kind of things in English, so here's a little doodle on how I'd have done it. And the tanktop she's wearing shouldn't be so... er... stuck to her breasts. ^^; Even really tight costumes such as swimsuits don't stick like that in the lower parts of the breasts. Adding a couple folds would look nice. And the highlight on her tail is a bit odd looking unlike the highlight on her hair (they should look pretty much the same, but they don't). The highlight suggests that the strands of her tail are going straight downward 90 degrees to the horizon, but in fact, her tail is very slightly going towards the left, perhaps because of the same wind that's pushing her hair to the left. In pencil sketches like this, highlight/shading is the only way to define the strands of the hair, so methinks the highlight should be done in harmony with the left-ness~ Oh, and I normally wouldn't suggest this kind of thing because it concerns with how complete an artwork is instead of the mistakes in it, but I think you should've added shading/highlight on her "skin" (Well, since she's a horse chara, I guess it's not REALLY skin... ^^;) area as well because you gave highlights to her hair~ Aight, that's about it, Maggie covered everything else. ^^

Kon Says: Hii!!!... This is a nice doodle. =D I also agree that some more shading and highlights would help improved the image. It looks like you setup the grey tones to help "separate" the features.. such as the hair being dark.. the tail a little lighter, the skin even lighter.. etc. This is a very good start.. you have the base grey tones down. The line work is quite good.. heheh.. maybe you should switch to cleaner paper if your doing such nice drawings.. XD Well.. I don't see much else to comment on... seeing as it's a pony person, proportions can't be taken too strickly.. Nice work!
