Environments, schmenvironments

Why, hello!
I'll save you the lengthy paragraph that I normally write and say this:
I suck at drawing environments. I thought I'd take another stab at it.
What's good?
What's bad?
How can I improve (without buying a tablet, mouse ftw
)?
Note: Don't bother with the foreground (ie, the warthog and its crappy blurred wheels)

I dislike the sky. The reflection looks off. The guard rail looks awkward to me. Try to give the road more detail.
That is all.

Sky colour? It used to be blue. Thanks for the rest though.

That guard rail looks crooked ... and incomplete. The reflection also looks ... wrong. It's as if the massive hill is mirrored underneath, and the water is cutting a hole through the ground.

The clouds are the really bad part of the sky. They look blurry and just non-cloudlike. I like those trees though.

I like the hog and the color of the sky, but little else.

I don't like the warthog. The positioning and scale make it look strange, considering the guard rail only makes about a 15 degree angle of depression.

I see now that it does look out of place. But I can't see how to fix it..? Larger and ;ess tilted?

The color gradient is pretty good, but the proportionality between the front and the back is what looks weird. I don't see any reason for the rear wheels to be any more than a tiny bit smaller than the front wheels.
Now that I think of it...the tilt of the actual frame is pretty good. It's really just the rear wheels that make it look bad.

Hows this as an update?
As for the rear wheel thing, I have taken note of it. Its been on my mind fo awhile, but I don't know how to update it just yet. To me its passable
edit: Day time aswell.

Much better.
The perspective of the warthog looks off and it looks like you put a gaussian blur on the wheels rather than a motion blur.

Is that treasure in the back seat?..

I noticed that, but didn't realize that it was actually treasure until you pointed it out.

It looks much better, but the reflection still seems to be off, IMO.

Most definately not!
>_>
<_<
Glad to know its now better
I'll fix up the wheels and tweak the reflection but I don't think I'll post updates on it...They're mostly minor things.

Work on the Shading, but overall a good start, you almost look like you know what your doing.
