Description

Finished her! XD. I kinda got her detail to where I want it but I think I still need more practice :P
Hair is not as nice as I want it.

Time to make a new one! Pirate Dash, most likely since I kinda postponed that :P
Aaand, I'm also working on my background skills. I'll have backgrounds soon. :P

To start off, let me state that I'm a notoriously nit picky critiquer, Don't take anything I say personally. Now onward to the critique. Vision originality, and impact are so low because there doesn't seem to be an objective to this piece. Here we have a pinkie pie, and nothing else, there is no context for the viewer to relate to in this scene, or lack of a scene I should say. You stated that you'll have a background for this soon, my suggestion is try to implement something that interacts with the subject of the piece, pinkie. For example, whatever background you decide to drop her in, give her a reason to be smiling with wide eyes. Doing this would likely fix every complaint I could possibly come up with.

I gave you 4 stars in technique because you are very proficient with shading and detail. You would have gotten 5 stars if not for just a few things. I'd have to suggest concentrating more on where to put the shading, specifically the muzzle area seems as if it doesn't have quite the same attention to detail that the rest of the shading does. The other thing I have to point out is that the back part of the mane is disproportionate to the front part of the mane. This is often a big problem with pinkie pie's hair specifically, a lot of people have difficulty with proportioning the two parts, myself included.

On a side note, I noticed that you got pretty detailed in the irises. I think in the future you might save time on the piece by excluding this, it took me a while to notice it, so your casual observer isn't likely to spot that. Now In a piece that has a frame of reference closer to the face, this would be a lot more noticeable and have a great impact.
