Hi Ariela, i'm not one of those people who will only give good comments on peoples work just to be nice, but don't worry what you did isn't bad. So here's my opinion. Your version of Shodai was done ok, some of the lines look just a little of over done. As far as the back ground goes, I really like it and I think you did a really good job. I really like how you added the suns light coming through the tree line, and the texture is nice as well. Anyways practice makes perfect, or close to it, so keep on doing your thing. I look forward to seeing you progress.
