Yeah, so you tried going for something happier instead of drawing something a bit more sad. I think this idea you have is more heartwarming than happy as you have Twilight coming along to save our favorite blue pegasus from being stuck in a cloud. IMO, a happy pic shouldn't have a sad situation to begin with. Wouldn't you agree?Also kinda funny to think that the same filly that was stuck in a cloud is also the same filly that broke speed records.Looking at Twilight, it might be worth knowing that you have two light sources here - the sun, and the blue sky. I don't think you should have dark shadows, but instead, shadows with a slight blue tinge like you would see in real life.The clouds are also interesting. You went with a cartoonistic style with our ponies as well as the balloon, but the cloud styles don't try to be cartoon-like at all. A much more suitable style for drawing clouds should be something poofy with black outlines and with a shading style used on your ponies and the balloon. That way, the clouds will look like it belongs in the picture as what you have here are multiple styles.I also notice the cloud which Dash is stuck on seems completely opaque where the cloud under the balloon isn't opaque at all.But... the clouds don't actually look like real clouds if we were to put enough thought into it. You could benefit from using real life references to real clouds instead of creating grainy textures that I do not recall seeing in real clouds especially not up close like the foreground. Even then, I don't think realistic clouds would make any sense as you have pegasi that can walk on them as if they're solid objects. Clouds are actually very very misty (well that's what they are anyways)While there are other things I can mention (would you like me to mention them?), I believe the biggest possible improvement we could have here is a more coherent art style. This attempt at realism while having a cartoon style was probably not really necessary anyways e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/>
