This is really cute! There are a couple things I would say as critique:
-When you’re drawing cobble don’t make the mistake of doing fish scales! I used to do this all the time because it’s an approximation, but fish scales overlap each other whereas cobblestone paths are a bunch of stones next to each other which don’t overlap. This doesn’t mean you have to draw out every stone, unless you’re going for complete realism- you can just do a few ovals here and there and the people seeing it will understand what it is.
-This applies to the last point as well, but use references! The trees and bushes are really pretty but at the bottom of the tree you’ve hidden the roots in the grass, which doesn’t make sense since the grass on the other side is really short. Drawing tree roots is hard and I used to hide them in grass as well but i promise if you use references for it then it’ll be sooo much easier!
Other than that I think you just need to do some lighting studies, it’s really pretty though! Sorry this was so long haha, good luck with your art!
