Wow this is amazing! A lot of people think drawing buildings is easy, i'd like to see them try and draw this; not too many would get very far. The detail you added even in the lack there of makes this so realistic to me. Also, i dont now how you did it but, the cross hatching for the trees actually looks like leaves, usually i find that type of shading to be distracting when used for nature but not the way you did it!
@BretsSketches Thanks for the nice comment. My approach for cross hatching is is to follow the contour of the shape. For a tree this means i will draw the skeleton of the trunk and the branches in pencil. If the tree has most of the leaves perpendicular to the branches, then i will make most of the lines while cross hatching perpendicular to the branches. For other types of trees i just draw many winding lines over each other.
