Description
Derpy's been told she needs to eat more fruit, but she doesn't see the appeal.

My fourth entry for the Equestria Daily Newbie Training Grounds. The theme was "pony eating a fruit". I'm not very happy with how this turned out. I wanted to practise a sitting position, and I think that part looks OK, but the rest of it is a bit sparse and Derpy's face is hit and miss. I thought it was hilarious as a sketch, but now I'm not so sure.

Lessons:
Perspective on the tail is a bit off; wing is off-model; tears are exaggerated, but way better than they were before I went and checked how they looked on the show; the nostrils are off-centre; the eyes are too small and the mouth... the mouth I don't know if it works or not. It's meant to look wrong, but does it look too wrong or not wrong enough?

Derpy's personality varies wildy among the fans. In my own personal interpretation she's not stupid in the least, but when I think of a pony eating a lemon, I think of Derpy.
