Some sort of city-thing

So this is a speed paint that I did. I kind of like it, so I think that I'll expand on it and stuff. I'm going to add people eventually, but I want to make sure the rest doesn't suck before I start.

I'm a bit inexperienced with colors, and I'm not very satisfied with the ones I have going right now. Also, I'm pretty sure the perspective is off, since I didn't check it at all while painting this (yeah, I should have, I know). I also don't really know how to paint water. So can you folks give me some advice on those parts?

Hey! I like this. I'm getting a Morrowind-esque vibe, somehow.

Your shadows shouldn't be black. Remember that light bounces off stuff, it doesn't just get soaked up and destroyed. So some of your blacks should be light up with some of that reflected light.

Your perspective is bad, but I'm horrible at describing how to fix things like that.

Water is difficult, and I'm definitely no expert, but you need to treat it as transparent first off. You should be able to see where your walls descend in to the water. It's also reflective, so where is the underside of the bridge? And if it's as tumultuous as what you were aiming for, we'd probably see some more highlights from the sun, maybe some spray?

That boat is really big.

Oh wait, I figure out what I did wrong on the perspective, lol.

Thanks for the advice so far, I will update.

I really like the piece, but the very first thing I did was try to scroll over. I don't know whether it was the half building or the river, but you lead me straight out of the picture.
