The blur and Composition looks off but you nailed down the colours.

These look pretty on point!

Another one, this time with actual ground objects. The grass was a nightmare...

You got the concept down. However, they seem to like hard edge brushes for land details. Clouds are just one big swipe across the screen with an airbrush or one hard dot swished with a finger tip tool. Colors are beautiful, though, try to experiment with how far the hues can differ. Hope this was helpful, and PLEASE continue the good work and I look forward to your future BGs.

Very nice, and I like the color schemes for these

Another one, i finaly figured out how to simulate crude pencil outlines ^^
Even if it's not perfectly emulated, this is damn close in my opinion, tho i think i could make it better some how...

Watch the colors overlapping. The best way to do this is with a broader stroke the ease it up to a point.

So I just saw this on Tumblr and I immediately thought back to this forum post - this artist does an amazing job at recreating SU skies, so this tutorial should help you out a lot.
