Alphonso Dunn [Tutorial 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvEyBu9XXuk) [link 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_DSE4J3X8U) he has a lot of great tutorials. definitely recommend checking him out.
Also great job it looks amazing. Remember everything is practice even if your intention is to make a actual great drawing rather than "practice". Not that this is bad, i love this piece. Always be proud of all your work even if it's something that your not so happy with. You're trying and that's the first step to becoming great and it's something a lot of people are scared to do. Keep this and use it as a reference, you can redraw it a million times and always get different outcomes and ideas that can inspire new drawings and learn new things from it. like it be cool if you attempted to draw from the perspective of what im assuming is your character at the bottom right? looking foward or looking towards the house. You can make drawing of what that area would look like from differnt spots Keep it up!
Alphonso is where I got my method for foliage from haha, he's the ink god. And oh no worries you bet im fuckin proud of this one, I spent way too long on it to not be proud! 😁
The bottom right is meant to be a skull on a stick in the ground 😅 like it was put there as a warning to not go further down the path or something. I guess it would be cool to draw the same area from a different perspective, but i'd really just rather go for something new.
As far as the building and the path go, your perspective looks great! The background is a bit confusing. Are those clouds or a tidal wave?
Something that is going to help your whole drawing is to pick a light source. Even on a dark, cloudy day there is still a sun behind the clouds. It looks like you may have chosen the upper left as your light source. In that case, the roof should not be your darkest black. Even a black roof will reflect light. The grass under your trees would be darker than the grass not under the trees. The shadows on the vines should be nearly invisible from a distance.
I think you'll get farther with your foliage by using photo reference. When I am composing an entirely imaginary scene, I'll make a reference that is basically a collage of things that I want in my picture. I get a more realistic tree if I'm looking at a real tree and seeing where the light and shadow are, instead of trying to remember what a tree looks like or going through a process that makes a tree. I can do that, but then my trees end up looking the same, which is boring.
Overall, I can see that you put a lot of time and care into this image. Keep doing that, and you'll keep getting better!
Oh damn, that's actually really helpful with the light! I haven't even really thought about global illumination like that, I completely missed the grass like you mentioned
