How did you end up doing grass on the other background you showed? Was it as you've done with this one?

I'm not half the artist you are, but these backgrounds are amazing!  I like anime art, and I can hardly fault the sketch in the first picture, except that there seems to be something up with the shape of the head, and maybe the placement of her right eye, or the angling of the mouth, or a bit of each.  The background is great as well, my only problems are with the definition on the foliage at the middle-left.  Every leaf seems to be very clear, perhaps if the lines were slightly less contrasting, not necessarily making it like the plants on the tree, but less attention-drawing.  There seems to be a lot of brush-trailing as well on the foremost tree and the one to the left of the girl, it looks very jagged compared to the smoothness of the rest of the picture.  As for the grass, I can only suggest making the foreground grass thicker and more opaque, and maybe denser, with more going in the same direction?  I don't know.
And the second, picture, that's just great.  If these are for a game, I really hope you manage to finish it.

It's great! I think a fault (psychologically speaking, a little) is that you spent too much time working on it.

It is too clean, too tidy, too centered. For some reason it seems a little too fake. Of course I know that you're not striving for realism but still, there is something in the setting of the scene that botheres me.

If you have more things to add then do try to add lots of stuff on the grass which will hide it, thus saving you from your worst fear! hehe.

I'm sure that there are other members that will help you more than I will, hopefully...

Female anatomy is very hard to master... (double entendre, anyone?)

I applaud your effort as it is very very good.
