I´m from
The majesty of this landscape has no limitations.
It has multiple shades and lighting sources, I can also say the details that have the pines and mushrooms, which its bright palette of colors I love and more with its variety of tones.
And the detail is exquisite. If you look closely, you can see a nest with eggs on the right side of the landscape. I had not realized it.
So for the applied idea and the majestic result, you wore it once again
This is really beautiful! I love the color choices!

Hi there, I am from project comment, posting a critique (=
First of all, I like the idea in general a lot. The reduced color palette creates an enchanting atmosphere in here. It looks like you have put a lot of time in creating the trees, bushes, their leaves and thr color blending due to the light and shade. The picture looks so smooth, no weird edges as when I try to do backgrounds, haha. And aww, those little details. A bird nest with eggs in it, mushrooms that form a fairy circle, hanging lianes, light fractures everywhere. You did a good job variating the colors of the plants, creating a mystical atmosphere.
Okay, so I got some ideas how to improve your future fairy forests even more.
By looking at the mushrooms, you had a hard time finding a soothing scale. Try to use grid lines. I am no expert myself but it somehow helps you fit in the perspective even more. It also helps structuring the groundlevel and avoiding weird forms that you might don't see while painting. Also, what I personally adore, are some pieces of a plant right in front, as you imagine a scene in 3D, there is always something very close but not possible to focus the object. For example a branch or a bit of grass, or a big mushroom. Depending on how you want the style to be, you can also smooth the blending colors even more to give it a better 3D look. Also try structuring a tree after how you think of the branches to be. Maybe you can find a good tutoiral about it here on dA. I don't know one myself, otherwise I'd suggest you one.
Keep up the work and stay creative, dear artist friend

Thanks for commenting!
Ah, grid lines! I used to use those but I keep forgetting lately. Yes, that will definitely help.
Oh, I love those focus blurs too! I don't know why I never thought about putting them in my own pieces.
I'll look up some tutorials. I really like trees, but I struggle with them.
Thank you so much!

Your art reminds me of Sugar Plum Fairy.I think the trees are made of candy floss,and the cute mushrooms are gummies .
Then this dreamy world is inside a ordinary hole...ummm, i know why you called it " a hint of magic".Because my thought is "if you lost curiosity as a child, then the hole (heart) won't have a wonderful scenery (happiness).
Also it looks like a snowglobe...the meaning of Winter is not only cold blood or despairs. it can be a miracle,right?
oh..it seems i don't witness a bird nest! ...so "the warm atmosphere never be gone" might be the artwork's message?
Finally...I need to critique your art style (not your skills). I am sure that you can add new keywords as "childrenbook","childrenillustration" , and "storybook" if you want to sketch things DOODLE-LIKE . And "fantasy landscape " needs to be created by realistic / photo-like / existed stuffs and rainbow-like color palettes. How about other concepts? i think you may consider being a indie game designer...some unique games need simple, cute, fairy tale-like characters.
Does it sounds rude and impolite? I just want to let you know that, the market is not quite cruel...But i can't wait to see your biggest changes.Good Luck!

Thank you for commenting!
Reading your analysis of my piece was very interesting! Alas, my concept for this piece was a lot more simplistic: I was just trying to show a forest where fairies might be seen.
Huh, I didn't even think about storybook/children's illustration tags. That's a good idea, actually!
Yes, I need to work on making things look more real. I love forests but struggle with foliage so I'm trying to get more practice in! : )
Though personally, I don't think fantasy landscapes have to be photo-realistic. I've seen artists do amazing things with a variety of styles!
And no, you don't sound impolite. I like hearing others opinions. : )
Thanks again! I wish you luck as well.

Thank you! : )
Yeah, I'm a bit iffy on the brownish-green parts as well. I wanted a bit of contrast there but I don't know if that was the right way to go.

Hi!! I found you art in #ProjectComments .
So, i am not good at giving long comments and critiques, but i will do my best. I just have to say this is beautiful and I love the title. I love the lighting in this piece and the different color tone you use for the trees. This gives the picture a very magical feel, signaling that you are indeed showing us a magical forest where fairies might actually thrive and live. Your art style is really good. And i don't have much critique to give you, mostly because i am not on your level yet. Although, i do have to point out that the mushrooms that are near the trees, seem to be standing on some really tall stems, when you look deeper into the picture. Usually the further away you pull the image the smaller something looks. But that's all i have to point out. I all i got left to say is that i can't wait to see more work from you.

Thank you for commenting on my piece!
I'm glad you liked it, and that the magical forest feel came across to you! I was trying to do a close up so I didn't think perspective would affect things as much but I see what you mean! Some of those mushrooms look a bit off.
(Also, thank you for watching me! )

Well, a ring of mushrooms is suspicious enough, but I don't think that bright light is quite natural.

Pay attention to the notes as they fly off the pages like stars in the sky.
