Description
An attempt at speedpainting... this took me about an hour. It's a little discouraging when you see professionals get a better result in twenty minutes flat, but oh well...Related content

The only one you're racing is yourself, and personally I love it

This is fairly amazing. The lighting is particularly unique!
PS: Don't doubt yourself in descriptions...your work is fine.
Keep this in mind: There's a lot of artists who can't even do what
you do and I'm sure people look up to you. So what you can't
draw fast, neither can I. It takes me 112 hours to finish some
of my pieces. 
sure the more you practice and try other techniques you'll get
faster. If not, that's ok! We still like your work regardless.

Really like this concept. I think the lighting could be a little better, but overall a very nice piece

See your work as bad in light of a good critique, not "omgsh this sucks so hard I hate it". Every piece has it's flaws, only thing you can do is refine it to the best of your abilities.
On that note, the colors of your foreground and background are the same. This severely flattens your piece. Especially with greens (greens are freaking dangerous as NUTS), use variations! perhaps the green in the back is colder blue green, with the value brought up! Add elements in the back! Could use a waterfall in the distance, or a mountain side with shrubbery molesting it. The bg just kinda is blank.
Try to find the right brush (start with chalk) to do moss on trees. Right now, you blended it right into the tree. that doesnt make sense.

Don't ever put your work down. Just because you cant draw to the level that others do does not mean that you can't eventually. Your picture captures all the essentials that a rough draft would need to. There is light direction. volume and a somewhat detailed environment.
I myself have not really improved in my style but my drawing speed has increased almost 10 fold. something that used to take me 12 hours to draw now only takes me about an hour and a half. keep going this picture evokes a sense of presence and although there are some parts that could use work like the waterfall, it all works and is a good image in general.

I think it looks great. I like the colors and the use of lighting. Also, the bird adds a nice splash of bright color to the scene. Very nice.
