Description Staying with my little 'Only colour the eyes' thing I've been doing for literally all of my drawings
 Decided to put a thin black border on a drawing this time, what do you guys think of it?
Also I think I'm starting to find my style, sorta.

Dont get angry at me! I still have no idea how to draw mouths and noses well, so please just look at the hair and eyes hahah (i try doing them well to distract you from noticing all the weird stuff)

This drawing is based around a little sketch I drew which had amazingly well shaped and unique Rarity eyes, I tried replicating it with this, I was close but no cigar. 

If you have anything you want to say about this drawing FEEL FREE TO COMMENT Like everyone else, I love reading and replying the comments you guys give me

This drawing looks amazing!
I absolutley love your style and I can see you improving with each drawing! I love how you did the eyes, snout and the ears. You drew her mane so perfect, it looks really really good :3
The only thing that you could improve on is making her horn bigger because it is all most not noticable. But apart from that this drawing looks really cute c:

Thanks! It's so cool to know that your noticing improvement each time, which means I must be doing something right after all
Yeah looking at the drawing, I should have drawn a bigger horn for her.. but oh well! just another learning curve

Indeed you are!

And don't worry about the horn it was just a minor mistake, all drawings will have some improvments! :3

My, you really are developing your own style, and a stunning one at that! Anyway, onward with the onslaught of observations and advice: Rarity's horn seems slightly crooked and a bit spindly compared to the size of her face. Her muzzle looks fine to me, though it gives her an expression that even I can't quite pin down with words (not a bad thing by any means, just a little puzzling). The shading on her hair and face is top notch, though I did notice a few things about her curls. I'd advise that the bottom line of the left curl have a sharper curve to make it seem a bit more cylindrical. The curves inside the right curl aren't shaded as dark as the left one, and the line in the innermost part of the spiral looks a bit faded and hard to see. Keep honing those great artistic skills, AppleBeard!

Man, your eye for detail is uncanny! hahah About the horn, well, I suck at getting the shape of them and just decided to have a smaller horn, but when finished I realised that i should have drawn a large, elegant horn instead. And her expression..well, it's a doozy. Also, I probably should have had more attention to detail with drawing the curls. In the original sketch up, I had the bottom line of the left curl curved very nicely, but as i continued with my little process, the curved sorta' flattened out.
Thanks for pointing out these things! Now I know how important it is to really look at your drawing for those little things.

I am not ashamed to admit that I have never finished drawing Rarity's mane- I have tried, but it never ended well for myself nor the paper. Your style is definitely showing in the way you drew all her curls and locks, making them alone a gorgeous sight to behold. Her eyes are stunning, too- in my opinion, one of the most defining pieces of a drawing are the eyes, and yours are always mesmerizing and brilliant. Fantastic work!


(The little border looks nice as well- it brings the focus in on Rarity instead of the space around her)

I have to admit that drawing Rarity's mane is a bit of a challenge, especially when drawing the shape and curls, but I just absolutely LOVE drawing her  
I'm glad you think I create good eyes with my drawings, I can never seem to appreciate them simply because i drew them and I'm always thinking of how to make it better? I don't know, I'm horrible with explaining things.
Also, I agree with what you said about the border bringing the focus to Rarity. I feel so lucky to have you as one of my followers
