ok. a LOT of mistakes. first off, her head is really big. though I think chibis are supposed to look like that, this just looks off. not her body. oh god like, the chest droops down really far. her back leg is way to thick, and I don't see the other leg. Not only that but all the legs look off. its hard to explain. Also, her eyes need to be bigger, and her snout is WAY to pointy. it should be round. the best part I mist say is the hair. its not the best, I mean it looks all crooked, but in this picture it the best, plus you need to learn how to color better, cause on the hair, there are dons of white spots. Oh yes, the cutie mark came out pretty good, but could use some VERY minor improvements. Look up youtube tutorials, those can help.

I think this critique was a tad too harsh, the drawing has flaws but you could also tell her what is good about it and ways to improve not just point out what is bad with no explanation on how to improve.
Like you said "You need to improve on your colouring" well how does she do that? press harder? maybe try smaller movements of the pencil go over it a few times?

There's no need to be rude. Want to be rude to someone who draws bad ponies? Go to my gallery and see a twilight pic I did. It's worse than this. Yes I will admit this is bad, but that doesn't mean they can't improve. Practice makes perfect. And someday they will be there.

Go ahead. I'd appreciate it. DeviantArt is too much of a hugbox anyway. I hardly ever get useful criticism.

My response to this particular piece is "try harder", but yeah, the person you were responding to has a history of being belligerent.

No, it doesn't. It really, really doesn't.
Skill doesn't form in a vacuum. You can't just draw the same bulb-headed stick a thousand times and expect to magically improve by doing so. You have to actively seek out new things to try, you have to actively fix the problems in your work, you have to actively study the things that other people have done successfully, and in the case of visual arts you have to actively strive to combine aesthetics and reality.
The wrong kind of practice can actually make you worse by ingraining bad habits.
"practice makes perfect" is not only an empty platitude, it's so wrong that it's harmful to anyone who actually takes it at face value.

I don't know about that. My art use to be way crutty than my art now. But with my practice, I got better. And I am very lazy in looking at tutorials. So how did I improve slightly?

Like, you say he works hard on this, but that's blatantly not true. I can see every stage of the process that brought this image into being, right down to the lopsided circles he based this image on.
Working hard on an image means sketching, and resketching, and then redrawing the sketch and agonising over getting the composition just right, and then looking up anatomy references and redrawing the whole thing over again. It means studying the lighting, and the way the colors interact, and then lovingly rendering each shape, facet, and angle. It takes time and dedication. It means keeping the things that work and throwing out the things that don't.
This image was not the product of hard work.

I visited his page because I noticed how shitty his art was when it turned up in one of the dozens of groups he submits it to. I mean, it was even worse than the usual dredge that turns up in that kind of group, and that's saying something.
I would have just added it to my 'shitty art references' folder and moved on without saying anything, but then I noticed his love for attention-whoring drama-churning anti-stamps, and also that his profile says that he is 22, which is pretty sad if it is true.
So here I am, commenting on how terrible this is.
Cheerio!

Bad art that doesn't have any effort put into it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I shitpost on occasion myself, y'know. I'll even be using your work as a reference. I genuinely like it for how terrible it is.
but don't be a hypocrite. You certainly make it clear to the world when you don't like something.

Did you do some warmup sketches/gestures from reference before you started?
Did you refine the first draft of your sketch, correcting anything that was wrong with it in the process?
Did you pay close attention to your source material?
Did you consider the way light and color interact?
Did you do any of the things I mentioned in my other post about 'effort'?
If you honestly did all or even most of these things, then I guess I have to respect that.
Otherwise, try harder.
Unless you don't want to try harder, of course. I can respect that, too. Like I said, I shitpost on occasion. I wouldn't tell anybody else not to.

I don't think that telling this guy how awful his artwork is is going to get him to draw any better. It is obvious
that he doesn't take his art as seriously as you do yours. Some people just aren't serious artists.
Also maybe he has a sort of problem with his ability to draw as some of his drawings almost look as though
they were drawn with some difficulty.
