Are you scared to death to live?
I know that no one is going to believe me at this point. But I am really back this time. I even have half a story written that I promise I will finish. 
I finally finished and added Chapters 2 and 4 to Mistakes?. I hope to continue it more soon. 
I'll have plenty of time over at least the next week because my best friend is in the hospital, and I usually spend most of my time with him.
I really want to "finish" it, but the closer I get to done the worse it looks. I should practice more with hair, manes, etc. I do not like how that's going so far.
You have nothing to do, and you really want to draw ponies... But, you can't focus on it long enough to do so and end up catching up on fanfics instead. 
Yes! I am in fact still alive.
After this long weekend, I plan on doing something. Probably art. I really want to art.
My job is going amazing. I love it. Mainly because I get to learn a lot of really interesting things about hadoop, spark, scala, and cdh. It's not what I want to do for forever, but it's really awesome.

I could actually offer some advice here, but it would be easier to do in pony. I think the main problem is shading which takes a while to figure out. Here it's relevant because you're not doing a line contour like the show (where you have lines separating the edges), so the shading is critical to making it look natural.

The darkest part of the figure isn't on the opposite side of the light source, but on the side. You can look up some stuff on this online but it helps to see it in pony or to have a course in it (I have a minor in visual arts).

That does seem to be the issue. I've never tried to do a drawing without a line contour before.
If you would be willing to share some advice in pony sometime that would be awesome!
I'm not doing to well with the shading research and tutorials I've tried. I'm hoping practice will help.
