The viewer’s left is what I meant. Here’s the MLP-VectorClub’s color guide.
 
Although I’ve had experience with Stroke to Path and Power Strokes, from what I’ve heard,Pattern Along Path is perfectly fine.
 
Stroke to Path is what most vector artists and I use most of the time and I find that the most convenient.  
The tutorial for the Pattern Along Path technique can be found here. Also, be sure to check out this guy’s other stroke width and pattern along path tutorials.
 
And finally, Power Strokes, yes, they are what a lot of vector artists use, although they can be unstable and sometimes useless. If you use Ponyscape, which you mentioned in the description, you can use the Power Strokes feature.
 
Now, Power Strokes can be a time-saver and very easy to use, but if you had a mistake pointed out, Power Strokes will generate an excessive amount of nodes that you probably can’t edit. So that’s why I stick with the Stroke To Path technique, it generates a decent amount of nodes that you can actually edit. But you probably already knew that.
 
A Power Stroke looks like this after its been converted into a path. Power Strokes automatically convert into a path, just to let you know. You can find more information about power strokes here, this tutorial shows the general information about Power Strokes and this shows the different kinds of Power Strokes and how to use them to their full potential.
 
Unfortunately no, I don’t know a site that can host multiple images, but you could use Deviantart’s stash feature.
 
I hope my advice has helped you in some kind of way! Time to get off of anon mode, wonder why I was anon in the first place. If you have any more questions, feel free to message me!

Her left or the viewer’s left? I guess I’m not sure if you’re talking about the overall shape of the head itself or something else. Her right eye (the smaller one) took a while to get to the point where I was reasonably happy with it, but I agree it has room for improvement (if that’s what you’re talking about).
 
I used this color guide. I’ll look into the one you mentioned.
 
I didn’t know about the stroke-to-path command until this had already been posted, so I was just using regular bezier pen strokes. I don’t even know what the other two you mentioned are yet.
 
Any suggestions on a site to hose the vector? It would be nice if DA would host multiple versions of the same image under one post.

Some more things I haven’t mentioned in my previous comment. Have you seen the MLP-VectorClub’s color guide? If not, try using it. Out of curiosity, what are you using to taper/point your strokes to convert them into a path? Stroke to Path, Pattern Along Stroke or Power Strokes?

I noticed a few things though. Although I may not be an expert at vectoring mares, I’m pretty sure that the the little stroke of her head on her far left eye isn’t supposed to look like that. What I’m saying is that it bends outwards. Either that’s the problem or the eye is odd. It would help more if you would send post the reference image if you want people to spot mistakes.
