I have a tumblr right now and I know it's not crazy good drawing but that's kinda the point that it's simple. This is probably suicide cause from the people I've met on this website some of you guys can be really judgmental but can you just tell me how it is?

I don't like super dark stories, and the way the pictures line up on the whole page is a little confusing. I'm not going to hate on you but I don't like it.
also I don't even know of you're allowed to make threads to self bump these things.

I'm not asking anyone to follow the tumblr I just wana know the quality of it. Feel free to keep your mouse far away from the follow button.

I find pony art really hard to judge because not only are they all fairly similar, there's also an accepted style that almost everyone tries to emulate. "Perfect" pony fan-art would just look like the show, which isn't really too hard for an intermediately experienced artist.

You seem to have the body shape about right. A few things of note;
You've taken the step up to digital and that's already made it look a lot neater. Next step after that is moving on to color. The important thing about coloring these things is the outlines - they use fairly thick colored outlines that compliment the body. Think carefully about color coordination when you get around to this.

The anatomy is fine but they still look fairly static. Check out some guides on how to give movement to comic characters. Tricks like movement lines are simple, but effective.
Another good tip for adding dynamic movement (as well as a decent means of improving your skills) is not to use straight-on angles either from the side or front. Better still, force or even exaggerate perspective to create mood and flow.

Not too much to say overall other than keep practising!

Tumblr tends to kill my tablet lately, not sure why.
All I can give you for advice is, be like Fluffle Puff.
That tumblr seems to be doing quite well.

Doing well with no followers XD The only time anyone ever acknowledged it was when I directly asked but I don't wana go around advertising it. (Disclaimer: It's here to be judged, not to be advertised)
