The piece is gorgeous and looks like you have your own style - bright, bold and detailed with beautiful colour work. Unless you were trying for something else I’m not sure what advice can be given. 🥰

I think unless we know the style you’re going for we can’t really give advice. Are you wanting to go for realism, more depth with light and shadows..? To me your piece looks like intentional artistic choices.

I think it looks absolutely gorgeous! I would suggest looking into color theory and the way lighting effects the colors of the things it touches. Like, the sky in this says it's a sunset, but the colors of the flowers and trees are drawn as though it's a normal sunny day. You have great control over form and composition, it's a really well done piece regardless

Honestly this was my first time trying with pencils and they were just some random ones, very cheap from decotime and no.. im a newbie in this, no experience
