Digital Artwork: Plants overlooking the City

Image
I recently started learning Adobe Photoshop and this was the first piece of digital art that I made on it. This piece is basically the digital equivalent of a collage/ mixed media artwork: all the elements in this composition - the window, wall, plants, etc. - were seperate photographs I gathered (most of them are from stock image sites Unsplash and Pixabay ) and combined together to create this. The concept for this painting came from me thinking about whether - in an alternate universe - nature could exist in its true, unadulterated form, looking at the industrialized, urbanized - basically destroyed - version of the earth where we live from afar. It was one of those weird ideas I often get. Nevertheless, I tried to translate that feeling into an image in this art piece.

Urdu Typography piece

I have done a lot of experiments with Urdu typography/ hand-lettering but somehow all my attempts fall short of what I expect myself to create. This was probably my first successful attempt at hand-lettering in Urdu (and yes I understand the irony of that; Urdu being my first language). The concept and execution were both my original ideas, and I'm really happy with how this turned out. :) Any feedback/ critique would be more than welcome. :)
