Description
Hey everyone!This is my first vector (Took forever to do) so obviously I still need to refine all the techniques. Eventually...
This is a vectored version of this picture I made the other day: [link]
So what do you all think?
Enjoy

Pinkie pie hasn't seen her family in years, not even in seasons 3 or 4. She'll never see her family.

Ohhh pretty vector of Inkie Pie
Which program did you use? Inkscape (Ponyscape) or Adobe Illustrator?
There are features in both programs which allow you to both Stroke a path and Fill the area within said path. You seemed to be manualy creating the strokes or using one of the Inkscape features to do it (there are better ways) and then adding the fill as a different piece all together (there are easier ways).
These are just technical suggestions, your vector looks fantastic
I am particularly fond of the curves on her tail, It adds your own sense of style to the piece.

I used Inkscape. I only manually made the fills on this one because for some reason the bits between the paths wouldn't fill. Instead whenever I tried it just changed the colour of the paths themselves.

Ahh Inkscape. I never really used it but I can offer a bit of advice.
Have a look into Powerstroke, it should help with tapering strokes into points instead of converting them into filled paths. I
I'm not sure what you did but the strokes around her body seem to have been converted into a filled shape which you can then adjust to get tapered points as you wish. I believe its one of the functions which is offered by Inkscape.
When you do this you convert the stroke into a filled path which is why when you changed the fill it changed the 'stroke' colour.
In addition I would highly recomend that you try to organise your paths and such into types; Head, Forelegs, Wings, Body, Cutiemark etc... since you are using inkscape I have no actual clue how dificult that is.
Hope that helps with a few things

She's quite adorable! Though if I may offer a tip - try to use as few anchor points as possible on curves, as fewer points = smoother curve. Her upper mane and flank look a little rough because there's too many points in them.
Also, when you finish a vector, zoom in very closely and just visually follow every line to make sure everything connects properly. At the top of her upper mane, one of the streaks in her mane is slightly protruding through the outline. Otherwise though, this looks great!

I just fixed the little bit in her mane. And yeah, I will be using less nodes in my next vector.

No. She's Inkie Pie, one of Pinkies sisters seen in the season 1 episode "Cutie Mark Chronicles". Of course she is a filly in that episode, but lots of people make art of her grown up (Like this one).

That looks pretty good. Here are a couple tips:
1. You should probably make all the corners of the mane and tail sharp, like you did with the two corners on the right.
2. This one applies to all new vector artists, use fewer nodes. It will make your lines much smoother. For example, you probably could have done the mane and tail by only placing nodes at the corners.

The reason the tail corners are rounded is because I was following my drawing of this closely (And it had rounded tail ends).
I used 6 nodes on the tail. Still I'm still getting a feel for Inkscape and vectoring in general at the moment. I'm just glad this one worked out.

It looks great!
Trust me, you'll get used to vectoring over time if you keep practicing. Then they'll only take about an hour or so c:
