I would say they are great. I would also say i think the living room furnishings need more shading to match up with the style of the outside, but other than that everything looks good

its kinda hard, you're not consistent with the shading - A suggestion would be to go all the way and shade everything, or to drop it totaly..
You shaded the grass-edge and the trunk in the outside scene, there is no real pattern there so it would be hard to be consistent with that.. Maybe there is a pattern that I dont see?

I think the outside has more depth aswell, maybe adding some foreground objects to the interior.

I also think you should be consistent with the dark outline, in the outside I dont think the outline are dark enough on the well bricks, grass edge dirt and the machine by the well.

My suggestions.

Quotethe dark outline

I believe zyndikate is referring to the black outlines you've used. Most of your backgrounds/objects are outlined in black, but not everything is. My suggestion would be to either use it for everything, or for nothing.

I think the general consensus around here is that black outlines are the mark of the devil, so you might consider dropping it.

Also your shading in general seems inconsistent. Taking the outside picture as an example, some things (such as the dirt, and to a lesser extent the bushes) go from light to dark as you go from left to right. However, looking at the tree, you invert this. And the book doesn't really seem to conform to either one.

Inside you seem to have decided that you could shade the entire floor by just adding a large darkened border to the top and right sides, whereas virtually nothing else in the room displays any type of shading whatsoever.
