Ok, so a couple of things. #1- if you really want your stars to glow, I would go for adding perhaps some white in the center and lightening up the outside of them. Like fading and blending with white, ya know? #2- The tree is good though lacking in a bit of detail. #3- But mostly I see the clouds just needing more depth. More shadows. More clumps in it. Idk. #4- The Northern Lights are gorgeous though needing a bit more light. Not saying everything needs to be neon and blinding, just a little more light where it's needed.π Other than that you did a fantastic job! I hope you continue to create more beautiful artwork! I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I definitely don't mean to. It's not like I'm just a super talented artist who knows what I'm doing. But I do hope this helps in you future works!

thank you for all the criticism I will take it into account in future drawings
so thank you so much, I did not even consider making the stares glow.Β
I did not draw the northern lights but I can see where that idea would have come from.
thank you greatly for all your pointers and sorry I took forever to reply.
I've been busy and then went on vacation.

Hi! I see your drawing in ProjectComment and I think is pretty good ^^
I would like to comment on a series of points about it
(Sorry for possible misspellings. My English is terrible and the Google translator does what it can ^^U)
First of all: congratulations for a work so well done
I consider that this drawing is like the paintings of many great artists: it seemed better from afar, as a whole rather than its separate elements.
Some details require a small retouch, such as the one mentioned in the previous comment: the stars. I do not know what program you have used to do it, but for example in Photoshop there are brushes with a predetermined shape that are very comfortable for these things ^^
In any case, the idea of dots is very good, but you have to be careful to keep them round and of different sizes. As a point in favor in this section I will tell you that changing the brightness tones is a success
The lights and shadows are interesting: they are subtle, so they do not break the dark aesthetics of the drawing, but still allow to distinguish the shapes of the tree and give it some volume. If there is something about it is that the source is not clear, although it is intuited that it will come from the sky itself, like a beautiful aurora borealis, and that gives it a very nice magical touch, although it would have been good to highlight it more.
Another point I would like is the background of the background.
At first glance it is not very clear if they are distant clouds or rocks. You can guess once you look closely, but at first it can be confusing. This can be fixed by giving them some texture or making them more blurred. On the other hand, on the right side, the tones of the cloud and sky are very similar and the line that separates them is a bit unnoticed. The same thing happens with the bottom part of the tree on that same side, but the trunk lines are very good, they manage to give it a wooden appearance.
Even so, I think that the combination of colors is most appropriate in the details as well as in general ^^
Good work, keep it up

sorry for the late response I have been busy.
my English is awful as well,
thank you very muchΒ
I'm using fieralpacha, which dose have specialized brushes.
but I only have the default ones.
Β yha... I get the "it looks better from far away"a lot, my art teacher says I have a painterly style.
also thank you for pointing out the rocks and how they are a bit confusing, in the far background.
thank you very much.
I should note that this picture was made with the track pad of my laptop and that is the main culprit for the stares being so uniform as oi can not yet make overly fine details with the track pad.
again thank you for your helpful critique
I will keep it in mind as I continue my drawing.

I know this isn't close to where you want to be, but it's still very good. One thing I would work on is the stars. They look all the same size, when really stars come in different sizes, even if all of them are small. It gives a good idea of space. Improvement doesn't come easy and it takes time, but just keep working at it. You'll get there.

thank you for your comment
he he, you caught me. yes the stares are in-fact all the same size.
with as Β fast I made this I did not bother changing the brush size a lot, nor do I have pen pressure as yha I'm still being lazy and haven't reconnected my tablet to my computer.
thank you again for the encouragement.Β
