haha water reflection can be hard thats why i dont even try to do anything with water, but anyways i think you need to line up that flap part of the boat a bit better caues it doesnt look like its riding on the water to me, maybe you want it like that though? the colouring seems to be fair though , just watch for your light source.

Hello :)

Well.......i hate to say this, but is better if you refrain from using digital drawing programs and get back to traditional pencil drawing for now, you won´t get much from using photoshop or painter.

For water reflection...water is a textured mirrow( sometimes), the darker,the clearer the reflection will be.

Keep practicing :), good luck

most of all stay away from just using photographs as backgrouns,unless you're already very advanced. if you absolutely have to,you should atleast look more closely at the photograph itself. see those trees? see where the light shines on them? you're quite at the opposite. your boat has light (if there is any) on the left side,while the trees have light on the right side. also keep in mind that everything that has light on it reflects part of that light onto everything else,along with colour. meaning,if you have a blue ball in full light and a white ball beside it,the white ball will have a light shade of blue on it because of the reflected light.
now my suggestion is the same as by shamagim: go back to traditional work. learn human proportions,light and shadow,most of all perspective-with one word,the basic rules and principles of drawing. atm you're not at the right level to fuse pictures like this,and your digital "skills" aren't there either. practice colouring with acrylics,coloured pencils,watercolours and the like. then go back to digital. learn about how colours blend and affect each other,about warms and cools. most of all,be sure to get your proportions and perspective right. then you might try to fire up this program again,but still stay away from photographs as backgrounds. it works in the most seldom of cases. hope this isn't too harsh for you,but you still have a long way to go. good luck!:)

The bones look horrible. You can't just completley invent bone structures without knowing or at least referencing real bones. The spine and skull are particularly bad. Also I can't see how the rib-like bones are connecting to the huge flat dog-like bones. Design wise I don't like the idea of a bone boat with wood and guns. It's not practical/functional (the boat would tip sink etc) it does not seem the slightest bit realistic, and in all honesty I find it ugly. I love bones, skulls in particular so this may be a reason I'm being kinda harsh but dude come on! They look tacky, thrown on, and out of porportion and scale. If you are actually intrested in the long but rewarding process of learing about bones and how they connect in fantasty creatures, study how they do in animals. A good place to start IMO would be "AN ATLAS OR ANIMAL ANATOMY FOR ARTISTS" Google is also nice too. Hope I was not an ass I was just being honest.Peace.

what program did you use? perhaps I could give some pointers.
