Inktober #7.  @pfh-mod‘s K-pony.  Not sure her personality other than she wants to be drawn more.

Your "rules" link is broken

Thank you for letting us know! We are in the process of trying to fix it, unfortunately it seems to be a tumblr glitch. One works for me, doesn’t work for another mod. Another link is broken for me, but works for another mod. THANKS TUMBLR DOT COM -mod Pon3boi

It seems that I can draw bodies and limbs, clothing and (half the time) even perspective, but my heads and faces have always seem lacking. What do you recommend for me? I'm trying to draw anthro and feral, pony and non pony.

I believe that one of the best things you can do to help yourself in that regard would be to pick a few examples from your preferred aesthetic references for each of the kind of heads you would like to improve, and perform some reverse engineering on them to educate yourself on what makes them “click”. Deconstruct the chosen art into simpler components. Take particular notice of used shapes, ratios and distances. Identify which of those aspects you would like to assimilate into your own style - it’s perhaps best to work with one element at a time, kind of like a science experiment: if you only fiddle with one variable at a time, it will be easier for you to identify how that variable affects the final result. Then you can take any conclusions you reach and attempt to apply them to your own creations.

If you’ll allow me to exemplify, and since it would be kind of cheating to do so with my own art, let me do so with a head taken from the gallery of my friend @fairdahlia-art, since I believe that she would not mind having her creations used for the purpose of helping others. Feel free to chastise me if you feel that I’m overstepping my boundaries, buddy. ;)

Please be aware that I’m not advocating for outright emulating your preferred artists’ style - and even though I ironically ended up doing just that in the example above, it’s undeniable that quite a few elements of my personal style still show through pretty blatantly. I’m just too set in my ways, and my personal aesthetic sense still has a big sway over the way I eventually do things, and the same will happen with you.

That being said, I don’t believe it to be inherently wrong to build your style around that of an artist whose style is particularly aligned with your aesthetic sense - as long, of course, as you don’t try to impersonate that artist or pass their work as your own (one would expect these things to be common sense, but there you go). Inevitably, your style will reflect the whole gamut of influences you’ve been exposed to throughout your life, so don’t worry about “copying” for this effect. We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, and that is nothing to be ashamed of.

Study, analyse, deconstruct, experiment, tweak, and eventually all of this will not only help you define your personal style, but also improve your skill and proficiency at expressing it.

This is probably more long-winded and comprehensive than you were expecting, but I still hope it will be useful to you!
