Another sketch, this time trying my hand at heads and eyes. This one only took a little over an hour to finish. Played around with light spots in the eyes but haven’t done any shading, nor have I done her hair. I figured I’d post this as-is and try mane stuff another time. Perhaps I’ll update this with a mane soon.
 
Update: finished version with mane. >>1427802
 
Not really meant to be any specific pony, but I went with the OC tag just to be safe.
 
Full disclosure: I used a reference for this one. Went with a piece from the excellent an-tonio; his work with mere pencil and paper is absolutely stellar, and the standard by which I hope to aspire with my own work.
