Maybe some more detail and shading to the trees and grass?

Apart from practice, practice and practice, what ususally helps me a lot is looking up references of what you want to draw and just examine it. Look at it as shapes and try to notice little things on how it works: How muscles connect to each other, how the eyes' shape seems to change from different perspectives, how clothes wrinkle, stuff like that. Trying to draw in a different style or stuff you don't usually draw can also help break out of stagnation.

The main issue that's present in your art is a lack of construction. By construction, I mean that your work is very flat, you can't see the forms project into space. Everything in the 3-dimensional world we live in has a shape. You can break down these shapes into simpler shapes - cubes, spheres, cones, cylinders, etc.
In order for your work to improve, you need to do a lot of life drawing. Try to really think about how you can create the illusion of a three dimensional form. Once you achieve this, begin to pin down your anatomy. Eyes are just spheres that reside in little nooks in the skull. Fingers are just multiple cylinders attached to a rectangular cube. And of course, think about how each anatomical feature relates to one another, in scale and proportion.
Take some figure drawing classes at some point, whether it be through a CC or one held at your local library.
PSA: Croquis Cafe is a nice source for people wanting to practice figure drawing. It's not advised to draw from photographs, because you won't be able to capture volume and depth as well as you could a live model, but it's still great for anatomical practice.

Turns out I forgot to blend at the bottom. Turns out I also can't be bothered to go in a break the layers up again.

The only thing of note I've done lately... and it was actually inspired by a Love Live song. I still like the background and it's the only reason I'm uploading it here (if I haven't already) OTL

A sketch I did a while ago, Gon from Hunter x Hunter:
As an aside, though, aren't you guys concerned that posting your artwork is going to help malicious people find you? The drawing I just posted was heavily edited to prevent someone from tracing it back to my other sites, but have you guys also been doing that? You never know when some crazy sperg might use your art to hunt you down.

I don't really post my drawings elsewhere. If I particularly like it I might post it on my tumblr (which, like, five people follow and I never update), but I don't put them on facebook or anywhere personal.A sketch I did a while ago, gon from hunter x hunter:

Or, otherwise, if you're trying to do something with your art, and the people who want to hire you find your posts on this site - and remember, this site has a pretty bad reputation...

I get extremely nervous about posting things here I might want to post elsewhere, but the art thread is pretty huge and I guess I don't have anything to be ashamed of on my Kiwi account. So I'd say it's good to be careful.
Then you could make the same argument with Tumblr, which has an equally bad (if slightly less so) reputation parallel to the Farms. Yet, many artists on Tumblr (SJW or not) get commissions or hired to do a piece of media all the time. Besides, didn't Rebecca Sugar come from Tumblr?
If you feel comfortable posting your art here than the aforementioned Tumblr, that's up to you. I don't post my doodles here much anymore, but I have other avenues to share my stuff other than the Farms--and it's very likely the same scenario with many of the artists in this thread.

Tumblr doesn't have a reputation of LITERALLY KILLING TRANS PEOPLE, if you get what I mean.

I suppose I never think of that myself. I get one or two guys asking for 'free art' but that's about it. It is a shame people have to be selfish pricks out there.
