Description
That's gonna need some brushing afterward. Any volunteers?

My entry for day fifteen of the Equestria Daily Newbie Training Grounds. The theme was "pony standing in the wind". Fluttershy's hair just begged to be wind-swept.

Lessons:
Experimenting with hair. I'll let you decide if it worked or not. Originally there wasn't a stroke on the hair and the top blended badly into the bottom, making it look like it was merging again. I tried a shadow, but that looked worse. Finally I recalled Steve Sampson's work on Judge Anderson in 2000AD, where he would outline "layers" of her hair in black. I think it works rather well compared to the original.

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
