Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I like your composition but you need a lot more color interpretation!.
Color interpretation is using a lot of different shades of the same color to make it more "deep" or as you say "mature!." For example take a picture of a whale: http://www!.dorlingkindersley-uk!.co!.uk/st!.!.!. and look at all the different shadows it has!. Take your colored pencils and shade your whale with different tones!.
Instead of having a plane yin yang sign, add some detail, like this: http://www!.cjmas!.com/images/tribal%20yin!.!.!. or maybe some other careful doodles!.
Doves also symbolize peace, so you could draw one!. http://cscottdraw!.googlepages!.com/PeaceD!.!.!.

Put more different shades of red into your hearts!. Alternate between pressing hard with your pencil and light!. Make your background darker and more colorful!.

Look at these 2 symbolism dictionaries and see if you find anything that means something to you!.

Most important: Have different shades of the same color!. Changes art drastically!

Good luck!
