In no way is this critique meant to discourage the artist from drawing. Please also keep in mind, these are my own opinions based on my own drawing experiences.
I personally love the little story that comes with this picture. I feel like the picture truly shows the chemistry between these two.
For the picture itself, I'd say that your anatomy is great! Maybe a few tweaks to the back legs of the two. On the purple one, which I presume is Corona, the one with the cutie mark looks bent in a rather odd way to me. from the rump to the bottom, that curve is rather odd and seems to be an organic bend which bones would not really allow for. For the blue winged and maned pony, which I presume is Sky, her back legs also look rather weird. Again, it is the one closest to the viewer. It has more definition; however, the curves are awkward much like those on Corona. Other than those two, I feel like this piece is really close to pony anatomy, so good job in that!
Another think I would like to bring up is the scarf on Corona and Sky's bandanna is it? To me, it feels super uper duper stiff and sort of.... flat. I feel like you could benefit in adding some more organic curves and "movement" to it since it is fabric and acts rather odd like hair. Also some texturing might help with adding some pop to the picture. I feel like you could also benefit a lot by adding more textures into maybe the hair and fabrics. Although this is a crisp, clean piece, hair is unruly and has sort of a life of its own one can say. It has extra strands flying everywhere and has special shines to it as it flows, waves, curves, falls, etc.
I would like to address 3 other things other than these. Wing structures? Shapes? (Idk what to call them), Shading, and the background.
I like your unique wing structure, but I feel like you may benefit from adding more layers much like what birds have. It would help add some more detail into the piece, but of course, this takes a lot of time e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="417" title="Sweating a little..."/>.
For shading, I feel like it is a rather flat picture. You seem to have a pretty good idea as to where it should go and when, but I feel like some of them are... confusing. The light source to me, would be coming from behind; however, it seems to be coming from almost the... Side and front of Corona. As for Sky, it appears to be coming from the side of her too and down perhaps. This is disrupted by the shadow near the back of the front leg not towards the viewer. I'd recommend also dabbling into some more soft shading and cell shading if you'd like to go more realistic. (sorry if this part is confusing O.o I could try to explain it better if you'd like)
For background, I feel like you could add a lot more pop to the piece with more shading and detailing in it.
Anyways, sorry for the long critique, but hope this helps ^_^
