I've been doing digital art for some time now (mainly on my main account) and would like some constructive criticism of my art and how I could improve, etc.

For now I would like your thoughts on this guy's art: https://horseeden.com/horse.php?id=15106169

It is my most recent piece and personally I think I could change a few things up like the background and maybe sharpen up the horse a bit so it stands out more(?).

Now for traditional work!

This is kind of an old drawing but I like it a lot, yet I feel I could change a few things up and improve. I'll gladly accept constructive criticism.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BXfoaeBDoqeDVeqC2IGKwQP7JVRds3HPT5PFUY0/ Thoughts and advice on this one? (I know, it's kinda old but my style hasn't really improved to be honest)

And lastly, this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bdh5QU4jVX3XRl4HTHAyGOsPBpD35Z7c69X9VM0/

It is not 100% complete but I'd still like some advice so I could improve my skills :)

I like it a lot! I don't have a ton of experience doing this type of art myself, so I can mostly offer critique from the visually pleasing/aesthetic standpoint. My main suggestions would be changing the position of the horse, maybe moving it upwards and to the right a little so it stands out more against the sky instead of blending into the dark rocks. I like the simplicity of the background, but the dark colored horse gets a little lost against the rocks.

Thank you! Will use this tip for the future :)

Yes the horse gets lost in the dark background. But the horse also looks like it is floating. Try pulling up some grass around it's hooves to make it look like it's actually standing in the grass. The text I would probably put up in the sky more but that is personal preference. Also you could probably make the horse larger in the image.

Okay, I agree with Dahteste in all points they made. To make it a bit easier on yourself, try the image size recommended for horse art, which is 500x500 pixels. To me, getting the horse the right size is easier on that size.

Another important thing, shadows! This image is in need of a slight shadow! The horse looks like it's been put into the scene, but if you got a soft-edged brush in black, then on a new layer underneath the main horse layer, draw in a rough outline of the horse - in this case just underneath the horse works, and drawing from scratch is a good idea on here - and blur it out slightly. You can lower the opacity as well. Quick tip - to make the shadow darker in some parts and lighter in others, get a soft-edged brush in the eraser tool and lower the opacity, you can make some parts lighter. If you gradually make the opacity lower you can fade out the shadow this way. The soft-edged brush makes it fade into each other, and not have harsh lines.
