Well seeing as you helped me and I saw your icon I thought I'd share my 'cents' worth :D
I'll mainly crit the ship one I think as theres more i can say about that.
The main difference between your ref and your drawing is that you are missing the warm colours from the sails (the greeny and orangey yellows), and there are no highlights. The contrast between the dark parts and the highlights are what will make the piece pop, so copy the white foam from the sea in bright white, and highlight the sails and the hard lighting on the ships hull as well.
Make sure that you maintain the full sails look by studying how they billow out- it is the white parts that form elipses of sorts, while in yours the ovals are made out of blue.
I may do a quick paintover of this if you'd like? I feel like a bit of a hypocrit for offering seeing as I'm at a pretty basic level myself but I think there are a few things I could point out if you'd like, including some colour stuff.
let me know ;)
Keep the good work up ^^
