What you saw is true, for me, every time I do a new drawing I usually do a comparison with my older ones and see how much I’ve either changed or improved.
 
Usually (for me) I would put my signature on every drawing I do plus the date, to mark every drawing that I have done and finished.

Not bad at all, save the front legs, but you already said that.
 
Trust me, drawing other things is purely down to practice. Draw about a dozen of anything, and you’ll see a marked improvement between the newest and the first.
 
Just find something to work from at first and try to emulate the style, or even do a straight copy. Once that’s done try altering positions of limbs or tweak poses, and then move on to drawing your own stuff straight up. That’s how I did it.

Very menacing! I like!!

@patec  
Wasn’t sure if it was my place to do so.

When you draw nothing but birds or reptiles for 15 years, your range becomes rather limited. This is the best I could with an entity that is half fish (kind of decent with) and half mammal (a 5 year old could do better).
 
That’s why the worst parts are the forelimbs (completely screwed up the humeri and hooves) and the jewel (can’t draw inanimate objects). Everything else is similar enough to an avian or reptilian structure.

You can add in your artist tag, use “artist:” and then your name, so “artist:dracorex” if you want to use that name.
 
 
It’s very good, don’t put yourself down. I’d just suggest you get some drawing paper so that you can display or upload it without the lines all over it.

you should add an artist tag to all your uploads.  
I went ahead and added one for you.

You mean you’re drawing scaly spiky creatures just fine but ponies, basically two circles with legs and hair, are giving you a hard time? Interesting. And I think it’s a pretty decent drawing, actually.

@Dracorex  
You’re very welcome! :)  
Just try your best.

Thanks, all of you. ;-;
 
It sucks knowing that I’ll probably never draw any of the main characters (except maybe adult!Spike), but Equestria DOES contain a variety of avian and reptilian monsters, which are certainly within my capacity, if I can muster the courage.
 
When I do, though, it’s all going look more or less like this; concept art type sketches, because that’s my drawing style. Depth, shading, and perspective are beyond my abilities.

It’s only impossible to tell from the picture because their only real visual distinction is their color. This is pretty damn good.

Awesome job, and you can tell it’s Sonata because she’s not roaring loudly enough! I love all the details you put in. :)

you got guts keep it up i whouldnt dare upload my doodles ;_;  
(that and most are not pony related)
 
but no its not bad i think it look pretty nice just keep practicing

@Mrmildock
 
It’s the fact that this is a show where almost all of the characters are mammals, which is a major weakness of mine.

@Dracorex  
I’m sure you’ll get better the more you practice. Looking at this drawing, it looks like you’re taking your time. I think that the more practice you put into drawing, the better the results will come out.

@Mrmildock  
Sadly this really is the best I can do.

Good work. Definitely a cool little image :).
