I think that your art is beautiful. I was drawn in and felt drawn into it.

As for improvement... I would like to see the main defined by hair, and not the hard line. (I hope that makes sense)

When you ask for help in improving it... keep inmind that you are going to get responses based souly on the perspective of the person looking... what they like or don't like... in no way does that mean you should change anything.

A rule that I use is that when I ask for help with my art.. I give myself 24 hours to digest what they said before I change a thing.

beautiful :)
keep up the good work.

This is wonderful, you definitely have talent. Keep up the good work, love the reflections!

great job!
maby a little less red? unless thats what your aiming for

That looks very professional, really good job :D

It's very good... Love the colors too

I absolutely love this, the colours are amazing.

As for areas of improvement, the reflection of the tree seems somewhat solid and you should make it look more broken up, as if it actually is a reflection into the water.
I would also like the see tthe lion's hair breaking through the background as opposed to a solid line to define it.

Altogether, this is a beautiful piece and you have real talent! :)
