The tree structure is nice... I'd say you've been observing them, that's good.

At this point in the sketch I have two general issues. First, compositionally the black mass at the left feels like wasted space. And second, the sudden shift from red light to natural light is jarring and would never happen that abruptly.

Keep going!

The composition makes the viewer feel like they are being squished in, and not in a dramatic way, more like an annoying way. I think you need more blues shoved in, and stronger lighting of some sort on the closer trees. The green seems too warm a green. Carry the red into purple/blue then go into the greens, if at all. Carry the the tree trunks to the top of the piece if you can because right now most stop just short and they feel short.

I am revising and will repost...

I think I made it worse.
