This is a fantastic picture. There's lots of good things to talk about here. Obviously there's stuff for you to improve on though, especially on anatomy, so I'll try my best to critique that.I'm impressed by the colors of the background. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it has a kinda dreamy feel (maybe because I usually don't see forests with those colors). The trees are solid. In front of the trees though, is that a stream? If so, I can't really tell if Fluttershy there is in it or right next to it since the water level appears pretty high. Maybe make the terrain a little less flat and put the stream in a small depression.Onto Fluttershy. While nothing here ruins the picture or anything, most of what you can improve on is here. As you kinda hinted at, you can improve with anatomy. I'm not exactly sure what's going on with her torso. It looks like she's got a reasonably-sized chest, a pretty narrow waist, and then a large belly. I'd try to make the torso a little less curvy like that. The near hind leg looks fine for the most part, though maybe a bit long compared to her front legs, and her cutie mark might be upside down. Though it's obscured by the other leg, I can't grasp how the far hind leg is attached to her body since it's at an odd angle, plus the upper part of that leg looks kinda long. Front leg anatomy looks alright, though the shape of the far leg isn't as well-defined as it probably should be. Also, there's a vertical line of shade on one of her front legs that looks like a layering error or something. Lastly, the "peak" of her mane comes down kinda close to her far eye. That being said, the face, mane, tail, and shading are generally solid, and in general I'm a fan of your art style here.Take what I have to say with a grain of salt: I'm not an expert at any of this, and this whole critique may come off as an incoherent ramble at times with all the nitpicks I'm making. Props to you for going back to your fundamentals though. With any artist, advanced techniques often go to waste if the anatomy or something else basic is off. Please take your time with what you make, especially with school and all that, but I'm looking forward to seeing what ideas you have next.
