Vector art!

The first stage of my very first attempt at a vector landscape.
So I decided to work on my technical skills in Adobe Illustrator, for vector art.
This is a challenge. It's way more detailed than I thought, and it's taking a long time and frankly, I'm overwhelmed and scared by it. But I want to finish it. The final piece will go here too, I hope! :D

Individualism.

So lately, I've been thinking about my artwork and how individual-or not individual-it is. From my viewpoint, it could be a little more different.
I feel like at this stage in my life -at the tender age of 15- I should be developing my technique more than anything but I just really want to come up with a sort of distinct style. Just to the point where when people see my work they have a vague feeling that it might be mine...if that makes sense at all.
So I've decided [based on reactions and comments from friends, etc] that I have a few things in my art that make it remind people of me. Or at least, that shows up consistently with my work.
1] My lines when I do sketches are really loose, etc. If I do a sketch, it pretty much looks like i do it
2] My figure drawings are pretty different at my school-not a lot of people exaggerate the anatomy quite as much as I do.
3] The colors I use are pretty bold...I know a lot of other people use colors like I do, but in my grade and general age range I think it's sort of different...or at least people can associate it with me.

Can't think of anything else XD
I'm still working on technique, definitely, but all the time the wires and cranks are working in my head trying to think of something that'll make my art...POP!
My writing, too.
