Artwork Focused Critiques

Hello. I’m new to the Blender and have completed the tutorials on Beginning Modeling found at the online wikibook http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro. Before I continue with the wikibook, I need some feedback from the community about my skill level so that I need to determine my progress so far. Please evaluate my model and these screenshots for the following:

  1. I demonstrate an ability to navigate in 3D space.
  2. I demonstrate an understanding of the basic parts of a 3D model, such vertices, edges, and faces.
  3. I demonstrate an ability to create form in three dimensions.
    Please assist me with any feedback on my model, keeping in mind that I am an absolute beginner still. I appreciate your help.

1). yes

You have a good start for your skill level, but if you want more realism you could

Change the sky background (default blue isn’t cool)
Apply a subsurf modifier on the snow.
Redo the buildings, find a brick or tile or steel or concrete texture or make one and inset the windows into the buildings
Make more buildings, make it more like a big city.
Make a texture for the snow.
After doing the buildings add details to make them look like they’re frozen over.

Cool! maybe try turning on subsurf for the ice to make it smooth. subsurf is found in the modifier buttons. Welcome to Elysiun!
