How to add details for large scale art pieces.

Uhh, let's just say i am not satisfied with the way inner huts and other stuff turned out. Can anybody help me here?

I think it would be a lot easier if it wasn't so dark, but I get why it is. It's harder to draw outlines in the dark, so what you could do is maybe add a well lit town square or something that adds a bit of light to the rest of the huts? Then you could outline things a bit better.

How is this?

I'm not an artist, but I think it looks pretty good.

You can try toning down the background by making it a bit less distractive while you draw. Just Return it back the way as it was before later, makes the Job easier.
Other then that, you can try using a seperate Layer to sharpen the edges and use the light from the cave to give it slightly more shape.

you can also use a technique where the front is darker and the back turns lighter in color called sfumato from trad painting. I am not that good at explaining but if you google it you should see what I mean.

Both should help a bit in making it more concrete if that is the goal, but I think its already looking pretty good.
