I don't think that I will ever be as good as you!!!

Any tips on what do draw?

@Jonathanartman Well I have to be in the mood, then I just check out a bunch of pics until something interests me. Keep drawing! :)

You are a phenomanal(spelling?) artist! Thankyou so much for all the tutorials you have made! I started drawing only a few weeks ago and since I found your stuff my landscapes look 100 times better! I look forward to you making a tutorial on the water. The drawing im working on is done except for the river because it always comes out awful. lol I dont get the "bend it down".
