2D hand painted textures

Kaankom

Hey guys,
here are two hand painted textures that I've made.
It took four to five hours to paint one of them, they are tiling.
I hope you like it. Critiques are welcome

Great job! have you just started out or have you been doing hand painted textures for a while now? I don't mean to suggest they look like a noob has done them as they look great, I'm just curious because I'm starting out with hand painted textures myself and would like some advise

I'm no expert but I'm with jimpaw, try to make some of the stones lighter and darker and you should find it looks a lot better with a little variation between the light and dark values. I did this with one I did and it looked much better. Great work though, keep it up!

Here is one that I've done, this is my first attempt though, I've just started out with the hand painted stuff so advise would be nice
