An exercise in continuity

[Kryptchild]

This thread is for artists to help each other work out the various kinks they come across with their art. Be it coloring, shape, or shading. I'll start with my current problem and hope I can get some help/advice.

I've been having trouble with art continuity lately. The thing that's been vexing my artistic consistency is how I draw mares faces. Or more specifically the nose/mouth part.

I threw this together because I need some help, which face style should I focus on for my current style? I left #six blank to serve as both a control and a base if anyone wants to try this out for themselves.

Also, if you know a better method for drawing a mares face, feel free to use #6 to show me! I'm banging my head against a wall about this.

personally 5 and 4 look a lot better to me

1 looks a lot like how I draw older male faces and alicorn faces

4 is how I draw my younger male faces

5 is how I draw my female faces

basically all I do when drawing female ponies is keep the nose short and round. with males I just give the nose a point and make their face a tiddly bit longer.
