I spent about two and a half hours on this yesterday and I'd just like some feedback as to what I should fix or change.

Thanks.

did you paint that by hand or in ps? well neways the grass area is kinda boring.

It was made in Photoshop!

I'm going to keep the simple look I think, but I'll add a little more variation to the grass.

Hey GPoodle, good work! Here're my thoughts

A stronger, more easily identifiable light source would be good to add. It can be from top, side, back or front, but just so you know where you're shading from.

Think a little more about the shapes of the mountains. Some areas seem like a very rocky terrain in new mountains, others seem like the worn rounded slopes of an ancient range, and other parts are kinda abnormal. ;]

I tend to like the forground the most out of the painting-it's simple and less scribbly than the other areas. It seems to drop off toward the bottom of the frame, as though it's going into a hole-maybe fix up the perspective there.

From this angle we might get some reflections from the mountains on the water.

Try to work on bigger shapes and getting the value right with them. If you go to smaller brushes before you know where to put what color, you'll tend to get it more messy.

Nice work, keep practising!
