they both were

Oh. I can’t see the thing with that’s hyperlinked

I need help
I feel like whenever I do night landscapes they're too dark so ignoring the strange badly drawn creature in the middle, do you think I should lighten it up a bit or maybe add more contrast?

Here's a version without the strange badly drawn creature

Also, I think I need to show more of a difference between the foreground rock and the platform it's standing on but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Any and all advice will be helpful (i'm also still working on the background)

@ninja_violinist

Hey, that already looks really good! But you're right that it lacks a bit of contrast - it comes out really nicely on my large screen but it is rather dark on my phone.
Would there be any moonlight or ambient light around the rocks? Having a light source that you can then build up with reference images (try a Google search of "cliff at night" or "cliff by moonlight" or something like that) might help. Even if it's offscreen, it would cast some more intense highlights and shadows around the rocks, which would also help with the foreground/midground issue.
I notice you've already added a gradient in the sky, which is really helpful - would it make sense to make that a bit more intense? I tried to find some reference for the sort of sky you're going for (the most helpful ones came up after searching "amateur night photography", if that's useful) and they tend to have a bit more contrast, I think. This site has some really cool references that might be helpful!

Lets appreciate how epic it looks, because it´s epic!
@Reblod Yeah, it needs some contrast, maybe just some highlights on the water and the rocks

@Reblod flag

Alright cool, thanks everyone! I keep forgetting that references are a thing (also the subject is meant to be very light so I'll probably just be changing the background to match it)

@ravens

i'm doing a redraw of a fairy i drew when i was 8 and i've gotten this far. one of the legs is slightly longer but it's fine also does the hand look right?? i traced it from a computer screen and i know theres a tiny bit of leftover line that i need to erase, which should make it look better, but i wanted to know if it looks natural.
