Alright, let's start from the bottom. A lot of the answers to cliffing puzzles are actually in the pre-defined tiles. Below is a useful one.

From this we can cut out the following...

That is the basic pattern. In the situation below (where you turn the cliff that way), the skinny part goes in first, as shown.

Following after it is the fat part, which you already had, which is then followed by another skinny part. This makes the pattern you saw on the pre-defined one.

This next point is minor but the base tiles of that pre-defined cliff I slapped onto the level should be used on your cliff. Like so...

Now, the problem with the side is that your last straight one was chopped in half! Move the whole thing after the chopped part up by one tile...

And fit the missing half...

The blocky sand tile-error can be fixed by going into your tileset and picking the tile I have highlighted. Place it where those blocky things are and you'll get a smooth cliff.

You probably know about the shadows but I pointed out where the tile is on the tileset anyway, which gets you to this nearly error-free cliff.

These last few are a lot easier than the confusing lines make it look.

Now, the base after it curves needs this special tile. Once again, pre-defined tiles own.

Now we just fix the rest of the base tiles...

Which leaves us with this tile-error free cliff!

I know it's a bit long and possibly confusing/boring but my real tutorials won't be like this. This is just a quick fix for you cbk1994.
