An exercise in shading

Description

I used nothing but a 1/2 density airbrush tool. I didn't even use the eraser!

All for the purpose of just trying out some simple shading on a few objects just to see how it would turn out. Since it was going to be about lighting, I got a little meta. In the future I might try to shade on my cleaned up sketch instead of making it up on the go on SAI.

(And the back legs are messed up, but I couldn't fix them by the time I realized it. Let's pretend its a perspective thing).

So much improvement between a few drawing!  Your anatomy is improving and your eyes look more natural! Adding shadowing, like soft shadowing like this is going to make your pics look great! 

Critique: You forgot the shadow underneath the figure it will look more natural in the setting.  Also take a look a anatomy of the back leg of ponies; they do take some practice!
