You did an awesome job with it! I admire anyone who can do a good background. (especially if the 'background' is the foreground lol)

A lot of truth here, I have to focus more on fundamentals and colours. Thanks for Your comment!

yep~! the sketchy style in the first has an impressionistic feel, and the second is very story-book fantasy. i think you've got colors down, but the way you manipulate them to create an atmosphere seems shaky.
and no prob~

So in the time since the first painting did the forrest grow?

It looks that way in fact, but no, that wasn't my goal.

First is much better in EVERYTHING. The light, color and composition is definitely more fresh, realistic and keep forest atmosphere.
You don't need any textures if they ruin your precious art.

Not the first time I hear it.

I really like both, but the second creates quite a different mood. It looks like something straight out of a fairytale where the hero(ine) goes into that dark, deserted forest...

Fact, it's fairly different than the first one. Also in 'before' artwork, there is more light and shadow blocking, more perspective and naturality I would say, but the second piece is more in to detail. Thanks for Your comment!

I vote for the first one, it's much more fresh and vivid than the second, though both are very nice pieces of art

In terms of detail, the second one is much better. More texture put into the trunks, the branches in the foreground at the top, all that. If you look at it up close, you can clearly see the detail drawn into it, how much time was spent on it. And the detail continues into the background and foreground, it doesn't look like a background slapped onto a well-drawn middle ground. And the light at the end of the tunnel is quite striking! However, it looks a bit too symmetrical, not very natural. Also, there aren't any streaks of light, which are actually quite common in forests, even thick ones. And..., where are the leaves? 
On the other hand, the original is very realistic, patches of light on the ground, lots of leaves, and very pretty shading on the leaves. If you step away, it looks like a photograph! Also, I see variation in the size of the tree trunks. And there is a clear art style, it's a bit like palette knife painting. however, all the detail is in the center of the scene; as you travel forwards or backwards into the painting you begin to lose detail. This puts emphasis on the center, but subtle detail would have been nice.
Basically, both have their merits and bad points. However, I do see a definite transition in art style, and I applaud you for not just staying the same. 
Personally, though, I like the first one. XD

Well, I am glad, You like it. I wonder, if people would still say that, if artworks were reversed. Thanks for the comment a lot.
