I’ve been doing digital art for a while now and I’m in need of suggestions to improve my art for future projects. Here’s something I quickly made.

I haven’t seen your other art, so I’ll have to assume that it’s like the picture you’ve shown.
I think the main problem is that a lot of your shading looks very messy and crude, which takes away from the overall aesthetic of the piece. For example, the shadowing on the tree foliage is very basic and not pertaining to how shadows would actually look like (and while I’m talking about it, the tree itself has a black outline on the edge of the foliage but not outlines to differentiate between clumps of leaves around each branch).
The black outlines as a whole are only half done; you included them on the character and foliage edges but nothing else. Something helpful to keep in mind when making art is that keeping a consistent style is much more visually appealing than multiple different ones, so you should either go full on and include those outlines on stuff like the trunk and hills, or remove them entirely (in which case you should probably clean up the shapes and shading on things like the character; I can see the shading going out of the lines).
Hope this helps!

Thanks, it really does. 
The shadow/shading effect needs to be improved. I wouldn’t do it so dark and wild. The shadow almost make the images seem a lot more messy etc.

This is not that bad i like this drawing but i do have quite some suggestions.
QUESTIONS
(1) what did you do to draw this?
(2) did you bring it into a microsoft.
SUGGESTIONS
MAN
on left side of the man its kinda messy on the left side it"s like his shirt shadow/color is going on the grass, on the man arm on the right his arm is not fully color on the right of his elbow, on his right foot/toe its pointy that should get smooth out a little on the left foot/toe its not even with the other side, on his right arm almost down from the elbow the yellow arm is coming of to the grass.
TREE
the trees dark green is a little no right on the tree its coming on the branch and some of it is not fully colored in on the sides, the trees bark the dark color is coming of the line and the rest.
MOUNTAIN/SKY
the sky is fading into the mountain in the background in the back, the sky is like blue dark and dark it should be blue and slight dark not dark dark.
overall like the design.
hope this help and inprove your design.

Looks great to me, though you could remove the drawing black outlines.
Your art looks nice but the sky shading looks wonky. I’d recommend less lines for the shading in the sky to make it look cleaner.
Not much of a suggestion but feedback. I’d say learn how to shade by changing the hue rather then the value. Shading with “black” makes the drawing seem so dull and bland. I recommend watching a few videos on that and make look at a few reference pictures on how sky should look like haha. Skies are definitely not black and cyan, so look into that more.
Hopefully this helps you! I wish you luck on your art as an artist myself!
Wow, Great job. There are a few minor problems but other than that Its really appealing to the eye!
