Eeeee Rainbow~ 8D I love Rainbow Dash, you drew her really cute. xD I agree with some of the things people are saying about proportions and anatomy and such, but I will say one thing- the head looks fine. xD I've been trying to overcome my tendencies to draw heads/facial features too large for a while, and when I tried drawing ponies... it was like throw that effort out the window for a sec, this thing needs a huge friggin' head. D8
I think the main thing with the legs is you're trying to identify the features too much. x3 Just remember that this is a very simple style, the angles and feet don't need any extra curves to help indicate them. These ponies are decievingly hard to draw though, pfft. You look at them and think, oh yeah, that looks simple... then you actually try it and realize how weird the proportions are. >3<;;
Happy to see you got pulled into this, too, haha. xD I was seeing ponies everywhere and made a decided effort to not look at it... then a close online friend became a brony and completely sucked me in fffff. >w< Looking forward to seeing more ponies from you!

Yeeaaahhh... well if I do draw more ponies I will try a different style and try to be more accurate. xD I just didn't want to do the same old style everyone else does, that's all.
Yeah it would be a lot easier if I were doing a simple little doodle of a MLP because of that. Haha.
Yeah my Brony friends had me get into it too. xD I'm not really super obsessed with it, but it is a cute show and they are fun to draw.

Congratulations on your first pony! I like it!
Pony legs are definitely tricky to draw, particularly the back ones. If you're interested in any guides or tutorials, here [link] and here [link] and possibly here [link] are good places to start! (There's some overlap)

Awww, gee thanks. xD I love the big ol' welcome wagon coming in here, haha!
Oh wow, thanks for all the tutorials! I'm bound to be drawing more soon! xD

I do! I do like da ponies! I blame my brony friends.
TEE HEE!
Well that's how it always starts! Bronies welcoming other people to become bronies!
Welcome to the herd Nestly!

Exactly. xD And my brony friends are some hardcore brony friends, lol!
As in, hardcore going to Superwalmart at 2am to get new Pony figurines. xD
N'awwww, tanks.

Why do you think so? I tried to copy the style of legs as I was watching the show.

I'll give it a try and try to explain why it looks at least strange...
The joint part is not thick enough in your picture. To avoid this people usually use a overlapping part. Err... I'd show you what I mean if I could add a Muro drawing. xD
So I guess I'll show you a picture of someone else instead: [link] If you look at her hind legs, you can see there is a overlapping part where you used a thin joint.
You should experiment a little yourself to see if it fits better or not.
Besides of this little thing I like your pony style. Especially the eyes look kinda interesting compared to all these other round only eyes. :3
(Maybe you should also look at the proportions again. Her head (and her wings) seem a little too big compared to her body, even though it's supposed to be very big.)
Always thinking about your improvement.

Oh wow, thanks for the feedback!! xD *didn't expect that*
I don't think I drew the legs big/flat/squared enough. I kinda knew that while I was drawing but, I guess I was trying to do something different in my own style for fun but it just looks odd. xD
Aggh seriously my biggest problem in ALL characters I draw-- is I always draw the head/facial features too big compared to the body. I think I've been drawing chibis too often too long, haha. It will take some more practicing.
Again I really appreciate the feedback. ;3

Why don't you expect feedback? It's kinda what comments on dA are for.
Also I am one of these guys who usually try to write something more interesting than "I like it" in comments. It doesn't always work, though. xD

Well to be honest, I don't get a lot of feedback these days, let alone constructive feedback. <:3
And that is awesome. XD Nothing is better than a comment that I can actually think in order to respond to! Haha.

Yeah its pretty hard, practice it by sketching it any times... thats what I do.

I think everyone agrees that horse legs are the hardest thing to draw, ever, haha. Who knew pony legs were hard as well!

I've never tried actually... I should try now that you say that!
