Any tips/critique would be helpful.
The stream itself looks good enough but your shore is a mess. It looks like you're focusing too much on drawing individual like, leaves and branches and stuff when you should be focusing on drawing very broad areas of value first, remembering that as you get farther away from the point of observation, things get lighter. Also just in general focus on the value in the scene/picture you're trying to draw rather than how you think it's suppose to be draw.
For example, in that image, the water is mostly white, but there are some dark areas. So where are they? How are you going to depict them? Same with the rocks, the shore, the trees, the foliage, you just need to focus on value first and then add detail if you want to.
Wow. You're a richard. A lot of people are proud of their work that to you is just "cartoon bullstuff." They deserve some attention too, if it bothers you that much, make your own topic.
I said "pony bullstuff". I don't care about cartoons or whatever but what is with all these ponies I mean come -on-.
What are we supposed to just stop posting our work just so you can shine?
Someone else suggested that to, and again, read what I said. All I'm frustrated about is the fact that stuff I work on frequently gets completely glossed over and buried under all the other typical stuff that gets posted over and over again in this thread.
