Learning a LOT today

Never knew I could draw mountains, never knew I could draw water. Now I'm going to see if I can learn to draw clouds and a nicely gradient-ed sky. Really impressed with myself so far!

I hope this actually looks good to other people... I kind of just clumped together a bunch of different ideas from reference photos, I hope I got the 'reflectiony ripples' pattern right. I know the perspective is WAY off, but hopefully it's just the idea that matters. I REALLY hope the scanner picks up all the detail in this or I am pretty much just wasting my time with the project so far. I should look up how Shaun Tan managed to do The Arrival...
