Digital Painting Practice

Since I have very little experience in digital painting, and i've been trying to get more comfortable with the digital stuff, I decided to make a master copy painting with the tablet. I know its an assignment in first year animation to make a master copy with gouache so I'm sorta killing two birds with one stone, or no birds, but I'm trying

The first image is the master image, its a scene for Disney's Bambi. Not My Work. If only i could work watercolor like that. Love the texture in it and i miss having such awesome work in the movies.

 This one is my digital copy. Lacks some of the depth that makes this one (^) so awesome. gotta work on that. did the Sketch on top of the image and then painted it on my own. next step, doing it blindly.
