So I'm a beginner artist who's looking for some outside opinions on their drawings

Here's something I drew around a month ago

In no way am I skilled/proficient enough to draw realism, so I tend to draw is cartoony/storybook type style. It's not much, but I've basically been working for a few hours a day for the past year and a half to try and get better, as it's basically been a lifetime aspiration for me to properly learn how to draw.

Most of my drawings are fanart but...

Lately I've been trying to broaden my horizons to nature drawing/sketching while I go out on day hikes, since I tend to see that as a more long term drawing passion.

A few other one's for some scope and such

And here's some of the quick nature drawings I've done as well

I have much less practice with traditional pencil sketches (As well as a small 3x5 inch canvas that is my sketchbook), so these are a little less quality, but this is one of the main areas I'm looking to get better at.

And for reference, here's something I drew about a year and a half ago

I'm sorry you had to see this one tbh

Anyways, I've only really gotten opinions/critique from friends at this point (Which are all gonna be pretty one sided of course), so I'm really just kinda looking for opinions and/or constructive criticism from people outside my friend circle. I've obviously still got leagues to go before I can really draw the kind of detail I want, but at the very least I feel a bit accomplished having started at creative rock bottom.

They're good man, I'd say try using fewer outlines. They work for the cartoon characters, but less so for the leaves and rocks. I don't /1
