@ArkyNoid
there’s.. uh.. hmmm..
I can see you changed the way you drew everything and the way you coloured..
the linework is aliased, that’s an improvement
the way you’ve coloured.. I can see you’ve experimented with shading and making things look shiny, so that’s an improvement, there’s still a lot of room for improvement, but it’s a start.
As for HOW you’ve drawn everything, I can’t say there’s an improvement. You have used actual shapes to make the ship and used straight lines so that’s a start, but the position of the bubble on the ship doesn’t make physical sense, i prefer the original because it at least looks like it’s conforming to the shape of the ships exterior. As for how you’ve drawn applejack, well..
Her body and arms just look like different sized noodles, her snout is very much just like a pasted on rectangle with a mouth on the front, her hat is in the right place now but the shape of it is still very much a cartoon impression, and her eyes are worse off than before, especially for mlp:fim’s style, where the eyes take up a fair amount of the face, and the snout usually covers one of the eyes slightly due to the curvature of the face and the viewing angle, your original was closer in that regard.
You don’t seem to have any sense of form, everything is very much flat, even cartoonists have some idea of form (even if their style from a glance seems to say otherwise,they know the rules and purposely break them).
what you have is no method, you’re either drawing what you see or you’re relying on your imagination’s idea of whatever it is you’re drawing, the symbolisation of it rather than its actual form. So if I were you I’d look into the basic methods of drawing where you break everything down into solid 3D shapes.
Here’s some guides to help you understand what you’re doing, and hopefully give you some direction:
Drawing methods
How to draw form
Foundations of light and shadow
This one talks a lot about doing traditional drawing alongside drawing shapes, but i’d recommend practicing on paper with a pencil anyway, as drawing very much involves muscle memory and doing it traditionally can make the learning process more natural:
Shapes, using a pencil, etc.
i don’t know any videos for cartoonist stuff so w/e
As for ACTUAL PONY, there’s a bunch

and of course it helps to understand how the show anatomy style is similar and different from actual horses/humans:
