Oh, well that's good!
It's still just a copy of an existing image though. Making something original will be the real test of skill.

Incoming doodles: I roughly drew and coloured this whole pic in the last half hour to try and get back into the drawing mood. I wanted to also try some unusual colours for a bat pony (who I'm assuming can be as varied in colour as normal ones) and red just seemed to scream out at me. Drawing with a mouse still proves to be tricky but I hope practice will help improve things.

The general design is okay, although I think having him all be one solid color looks a bit weird. Even Pinkie has different shades of pink for her coat and her mane.

I do like the design. The monocoloring is a bit strange though, just don't use black as an additional color.

His hair came out far lighter than I meant it too. He was supposed to be dark red maned with a light red coat. Whoops. And the red wings on the same shade of red body seem off as well. Damn. Fun fact, his mane was based on Finns! But that tail was definitely an afterthought.

If it was supposed to be based on Finn's it's nowhere long enough.

Because without it, he looks like this:

That's that my hair used to be like/jk.
I don't really know why I drew a bat pony too when I'm trying to stay away from them in writing on account of their canonicity not being well defined enough.

Even though this was a quick drawing, I still hate how sloppy my stuff looks. It's got to be crisper! Sharper! Less scribblely and wobbly!

Even more doodles Looking at it now though he seems to look too similar to Pokey Pierce in terms of colour layout.

His mane and tail look like they are made of clouds.

His mane and tail look like they are made of clouds. Super glad you picked up on that! Yeah remember I had the idea of the captain in my story having dark blue hooves (sea), light blue coat (sky) and white hair (clouds)? Well I wanted to see if it was possible to make the hair look even more like clouds. I think that part worked quite well. Shame I forgot about the hooves in this case.

I'm sure you can fix the hooves in a later drawing. How far are you taking the mane as clouds thing?
