Went back and looked at your old pics, and I’m glad I took the time to; it was really fun to watch your style develop over 20 pages.
 
Of the many things I could say, I’ll stick to pointing out the biggest and most important improvement you’ve made: making your poses dynamic.  
Compare >>9366 vs >>461560. You can feel the motion in the newer image (especially in the sketch >>461476), without having to show it with cartoony speed lines.  
Even your static poses have more weight and tension than they used to >>453065.
 
Your technique has definitely improved! But I think it’s natural to feel frustrated and constrained by a mature style.  
If you feel like you’re in a rut, sometimes it’s refreshing to try something totally different or even silly, without thinking about “trying to improve”.
 
But whatever you decide to do, do it for yourself! We’ll stay your fans no matter what.

The top one!

For the sake of perspective, my own image scores range from 15 to 74. (Not too shabby! I’m just doodling for fun.)
 
On the first page alone looking at your stuff, I see a LOT of images with 70__, 100__, 200+ upvotes. You’ve got a pretty awesome following. It’s something for me to aspire to. :)
 
I hope you see this as encouragement. Whatever you do, keep drawing. You have a lot of support, here! If you’re not happy with the direction your art is taking, try new things. You still have a lot of fans. :)

Worse or Better? In my humble opinion is a way better. Your style is cute, that’s how I like it: Mixed of sexiness and cuteness.
 
Aaaand… Did I Ever mention, Zev that You are my favourite artist? No?
 
And yes… you are better.

@Zev  
Well I personally don’t think those people matter, and your mind must be a wondrous place.

@The Smiling Pony  
believe me, i know the people i disappointed. you just not aware of that because is not pretty evident but is true.
 
also, i dont think drawing cute/sexy/funny stuff doens’t really make me an artist, my drawings are just silly things i urge to get out of my mind.

They both look fine to me.

@Zev  
I’m not one to rush in and say untrue things just to make you feel better. I’ve always been a fan since the very beginning. I’ve always enjoyed your artwork. It’s been fun watching your talent change over time.
 
I don’t feel you’ve gotten worse. It’s just different.
 
I don’t draw as much as I used to. There are some that will always prefer your older artwork to your newer stuff, and there are those that look forward to your new stuff. I think the most important art is to draw because you’re having fun. While constructive criticism is always helpful, ultimately, you should be drawing for yourself, first. (Same with music, writing, anything creative, really.)

@Zev  
That is extremely subjective. I egotistically don’t care if your style hasn’t changed of “improved” over the last two years, because as far as I’m concerned it’s awesome. You can do cute and sexy and put emotion and character into your work; a lot of artists that do stuff that’s “technically advanced” fail utterly at things you excel in.
 
There’s a lot more to art than photorealism or speed or whatever, there’s actual spirit in it, and that’s what I see in your stuff.
 
There is absolutely no one you’re disappointing with your art. No one.

@Zev  
Don’t push yourself too hard. You’re still yourself. A true artist like you is welcome to criticisms and complements. We’d be sad if any competent artists leaves. But it is ultimately your choice as a person, whether you wish to continue or not. Depends on what your life wants.

Pic A is better IMHO. I like it more when I can see the pony’s facial shape. When they’re front-on, even in the show, they look like eggs with mouths.

@Zev  
Do not give up.
 
I’ve been trying to perfect my artstyle for years now.
 
I just perfected it about last week.
 
Just keep at it, find out what you like the most in art and focus on that.
 
For me, it’s the eyelashes and eyes in general.
 
Once you find something you enjoy putting effort on in a character you can begin to make your style become more concrete. You’ve influenced my art plenty and I do look up to your art plenty when drawing my own.
 
Just stay strong and it will come together.

@Zev  
*disappointed

thank you all.
 
but honestly, i’m feel like i have dissapointing a lot of people who used to like my art, and it seem the principal reason is because im getting worse. im tired to see how people improve a lot in less time than me and that frustrates me so much. the reason i dont tag my own artist name is because im ashamed of my own art.
 
im not gonna say names but 2 years ago i used to draw better than a lot of “top elite” artists.

@Zev  
Even though I don’t agree with some of the things you draw, don’t throw in the towel.
 
People would kill to have the natural artistic talent you have. You just need hone in on which style you want to do. And never comes easy, drawing styles change with every ammature artist, that doesn’t mean you’re bad, it just means you’re developing. At the end of the day it’s your decision, but I implore you to think long and hard about this.

Well it’s kind of hard to compare these two pictures as they are like an apple to an orange…
 
If they were both colored, then maybe I could better judge, but I like both styles.
 
I do enjoy your art Zev, Don’t ever think yourself the villain because of that

@Zev  
You’re one of my favorite artists. The only way you really get any better (and faster) is with practice. As you draw more, your style will change over time. I do like where your artwork is going.
 
It’s frustrating to see an image of something in your head, and then not be able to draw exactly what you’d like. That feeling will never, ever disappear. It’s what drives us to get better and better!
 
I absolutely love your artwork.
 
Don’t be afraid to experiment! Just please, don’t stop drawing. :)

What made you think your drawings are getting worse? They’re awesome!

@Zev  
I will be sad if you stop drawing.
 
Like, actually legitimately sad.
 
There are many reasons I continue to support and maintain the booru and be in the fandom, and in all honesty you’re one of the biggest ones.

@professor_of_hoers  
thanks for the critique. is true that i draw the same poses all the time, in part is because i have problems drawing backs, problems with perspectives and/or problems with drawing only from right to the left.

@Zev
 
As a personal favor to me… please never…. EVER stop posting. So many of your images have, literally, hundreds of votes. We love your art man. You are quite honestly one of my favorite pony artists. No kidding. Don’t despair.

I like the top style more.
 
It’s much more unique than the bottom style.
 
The bottom style is more seductive but the top style is more unique.

lately, i started to think i don’t know where im going with my art. i’ve been drawing for at least 2 years and is kinda annoying to see how my “art style” changes every time and i can’t stay with something recognizable. also, it seems a lot of people had improved shortly, that people is capable to do something would took me 3 hours in less than 30 minutes.
 
sometimes, i think is time to stop posting, before my “style” becomes worse. well you know what they say:
 

are you kidding me
 
was the guy on the bottom even trying

Eh? These are both yours??…  
Can’t tell if one is better than the other, the styles are pretty different, and i like them both a lot.
