this is by far the best thing you have posted in the thread. the biggest/most obvious criticism i have of your landscapes is that they are pretty flat and the elements vary from extremely basic to overly detailed/complicated. i think you will improve if you're much more strict with your palette - especially by paying close attention to change and variations in values - and keep it simple. the reason this piece works is because there are very obvious, clear, solid objects with form and depth. is it from a photograph?

thanks for the advice, and yes it came from a photograph. do you have any recommendations for some resources on working with colors? im basically just making it up as i go along and don't really know anything except the strict basics about color theory

well! there is of course THE tutorial which is a reliable, all-rounder starting resource - i'd recommend the "focus points" and "studies" sections in particular. but if you're familiar with that and feel like stretching out i'd recommend Color and Light, A Guide for the Realist Painter by James Gurney.

frustratingly i can't remember the exact title of another helpful book just now but the best advice i got from it is to get into the habit of colour inventories. take a picture that you like or would like to emulate and identify its constituent colours and map their relative proportions like this. there are some good twitter/ig accounts that do this for movie stills like this which can give you some inspiration for your sci-fi stuff

e: the point of colour inventories is to just be mindful of how you can portray a sense of light harmoniously and economically. after a few you get a feel for how things go together and what combinations work etc. a nice exercise is to take the inventory of a piece and then make your own, following the same colours and proportions
