critiques are happily accepted and encouraged! I'd really like to know how I can improve on my coloring, and how to draw clouds and shade them a bit better xD

HOLY FRICKEN POOP THIS TOOK FOREVERRRRR! But I am really proud of the outcome! I know the background is kinda yucky looking, but it was my first attempt at coloring a sunset-ish sky. I still think it looks really good though. c: Hope you all like it!
made using crayola markers and prisma-color pencils
time spent: at least 5 hours (even the original sketch to me like an hour to get it right)

I really like the look on Rainbow's face. The shading on the clouds is really awesome! I also like how you made her tail merge into being the rainbow. Her wings are good but probably could look a little more like the real thing... Overall though, I really like this picture! I mean, it's way better than I could do, so who am i to judge?
Well, there you go! I did my critique as fair as as i can and i also rated it like that too! I am just trying to give an honest opinion! I really like this picture! your good with pencils!!!
The clouds are awesome to look at, too. It almost has a "layered" effect because of the shadow she casts on them. It reminds me of the background cutouts in a play (I'm in drama club at my school, so trust me, that's a compliment).
The sun-kissed sky is also very beautiful. It really adds a contrast of warm colors to her cool blue tone.
The only thing I would say needs some adjustments is the blending between the different colors in the sky. It looks like you used colored pencils for this picture, so it's understandable. They're not really easy to gradient between different shades.
Overall, awesome piece of work. I love it, and I know it's going to make an awesome addition to the fandom!
