K so. I'm going to provide you with some temporary links to help explain what I've got here for yah.
And I think the best tip, or thing to try would have to be. instead of drawing one single continuous line. You could learn to "scratch your lines". Like so....[link] [link] . These links will work for about the next week, and will then 404.

And I dug up some pony drawings for you! You know I don't post those on my page. Anyway. You can notice how it isn't drawn in 1 solitary line, instead its scratched out. Cause lets be honest, what are the odds of making a 100% perfect line? I know I can't. It takes years of training for anyone who says they can. And in your art you've got plenty of bumps and shakes in the lines.

Now after you've sratched it out, THEN, you can put your solid lines in. Grab a black pen and do the lines, and once the ink dries, get out an eraser and erase the pencils image. Mind yourself to not smudge or tear off the pen. What, you'll be left with, are those perfect little lines and remove the scratches that you use as a guide. The scratches will give you the necessary perspective when you "zoom" in to get that perfect line. A task like that requires micro focus, and when you are looking at the small and not the large, your lines also come out wrong as a whole. I can see many examples in your work where I see an erased out circles to guide you, but the strong line you put over isn't followed 100% or trusted? like it should be. And while your reference circle has a beautiful shape, the actual head you leave the pony isn't nicely rounded.

Anyway man. Hope you continue to learn and experiment. I'm self taught too, and experimentation is what taught me what I've just shared with you.

This is getting really long, and I need to stop.

Good Luck!!
