Description
So, here we have a sketch of sort of my 'dream landscape', done in pencil and tinted in Photoshop.I want to paint another full-blown landscape, but I'd like some opinions first.
What can I improve? Should I add anything? Take anything out? Change?
Should I even bother going through with it? 'Cause last time when I actually bothered to spend 14+ hours painting a landscape, it get fewer comments/faves than a 3 hour cartoon wolf.
I'm not complaining, but it's a little frustrating. I've never mentioned it before, but I do love to have my hard work '
ay off'.

The cliff is beautiful. Don't outline the clouds but rather lightly darken the edges. That way you can tell where they end, but they don't have an unrealistic looking outline.
Maybe make the part of the rock underwater and little more obscured. ???
That's about all I can say...I really love how you did the grass.

Thank you!! ;-; Best. Comment. EVAR.
I hate outlined clouds...
I see what you mean about the rock...it was a last minute addition. I'm at the point where I don't even really like it. :\

But that poor rock looks a widdle lonely.

I think you should totally go for it.
When you do, try to aim for a much less distinct horizon between the clouds and the water. It's usually a rather hazy and blurred area. At the other end of the clouds, you kind of want them to just fade or blend right into the sky a bit. Yes, there are a lot of clouds with clean-cut edges, but there's always some blending going on.
I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Ooh, thank you!!
I will blur my clouds in more; I usually make them too sharp.

Oh, I know Sei. My most recent realism peice I spent SO long on, so much hard work and barely any feedback lol. My old, craptacular stuff tends to get more favorites and comments then my recent (and I'd like to think, BETTER) stuff.
Hmm, critique? Maybe make it a little more clear where the water ends and where the bushes start. I'm assuming those a bushes, btw, 'cause it's a different shade than the clouds and sometimes its hard to tell in a sketch. ^^ So I hope Igot that right, lol.

Ew, how does that work? You'd think better stuff would cause more people to comment!
Hehehe, those are clouds. 
In a full blown digital pic, I think the border will be more clear. :B AtleastIhopeso. 8D
