The use of texture in the left hand elements is welcome and interesting. However the size of the brushes used here seem the same, thus I lose a sense of space that could be created between the immediate foreground where shy is sitting and the object just above her. It's all fun to use the photoshop brush effects and they're nice and fast, but a little setting adjustment from place to place can go a long way.

Long story short: to get a sense of space go from thicker brush strokes to thinner as you go back in space. This is demonstrated well on the mountains and river.

Your approach to hair here makes me happy. Whether by happy accident or intention your hair here is quite nice. Something to remember is that hair is shape first before texture. Cylinder before each individual hair for example.

Steps of saturation would be welcome. More to less as we go back in space. Right now the warm reds of the sky are coming very much forward.

The balance of colors makes good sense here. Making Canterlot the same as Shy's colors is a nice touch.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns they're quite welcome, though it is likely easier to catch me on the reddit sub mlpdrawingschool [link]
