Description
Okay, finally! I was discussing what to draw with *ShockerTheDog and she suggested Fluttershy!Oh, I do love Fluttershy, she's so adorable! c:
This was extremely fun to draw, I'm not that experienced with 'feral' art, so forgive any obvious anatomy mistakes.
Fluttershy belongs to Hasbro.

Hello MarkTheCat,
First of all, I commend you for drawing ponies. It's a great subject for art but many people are reluctant to publicly post their pony related creations.
I can definitely sense the timid nature that is essential to Fluttershy's character. Good job with the facial expression and eyes. Her ears and hair are properly placed and shaped in accord with the show style. I might suggest straying a little bit from the show style and adding some stray strands of hair or a bit of free flow to the hair to create the sensation of movement.
Your lightsource is well defined and kept consistent throughout the drawing which always helps with the overall effect of a drawing. The background is simple and matches the color scheme, so it doesn't detract from the subject of the portrait at all. Overall, the environment is good, but I would suggest adding some slightly more complex backgrounds to add a little bit of depth and context to the drawing.
I don't know how new you are to drawing ponies, but you have a good grasp of the Pony anatomy. It's a more complex problem to tackle than you might assume. The body proportions are good and the legs are relatively well shaped. For the front legs, you might want to consider the bone structure of the ponies. A shoulder to elbow, elbow to wrist and wrist to hooftip section. This will help you keep the legs looking natural when doing any other pose than straight legs. Her wings strike me as being placed slightly high and forward and there is little definition between the wings and the torso.
Other than those slight problems with the body, this drawing is very solid. Perhaps just practice ponies in different body poses and some backgrounds to accompany. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for the critique, it's very much appreciated, and I do consider everything people tell me.
About backgrounds, I've never been any good at them and I didn't want to ruin the picture by adding something not up to the same standard, so I left it simplistic. Funny you should mention practicing more complex stuff, because I have been!
As for the anatomy... Yes, I am very new to drawing ponies. Hell, I never even drew a single equine before recently. I'll study on the more accurate side of the anatomy in order to simplify it to my whim, but keeping it at a good level of realism.
Thank you again!
