Wanted to do a little experiment. The left is Pinkie using circles and guidelines, the right is attempting to draw her freehand. As you can see, the left is much more precise and proportional. That’s not to say that every artist needs to use circles, but until I form a consistent template, I sure as hell do.

There’s no shame in it, but the more often you draw and practice, the more comfortable and less reliant you become on certain tools. All in good time, no rush.
