I think you have the pencils figured out, that is real smooth. My only advice is on the actual drawing. If you are going to do something that is symmetrical, make sure that there is plenty about it that isn't the same on both sides. For example the rock the water the lightning the clouds. If you change those things about this piece it will make a huge difference. I have the same problem, I have to force myself to draw things not perfect. You have to think, nature isn't perfect & it's those imperfections that will give you a perfect piece. You should re-draw this same piece & make the changes that I pointed out & then compare the 2 pieces together & you will see your work look like a piece that you are wanting to draw. Making those changes will step up your artwork. The outside framing, the compass, & the lighthouse, & sunset look great.

Agree 100 % when is the last time you saw anything in nature symmetrical. Waves randomness add such a nice look no need for symmetry it actually tends to look "wrong" because our brains know that waves (and nature) are not symmetrical and even etc. When tattooing sometimes we fix that (like lining up an animals eyes even when they are not), water fire smoke etc and the chaotic patterns they make can really make a piece.

The rest of it is DOPE AS HELL !!
