#drawing backgrounds

I’m practicing backgrounds by putting Bearpaw everywhere around the globe, starting simple with some grassy plains.

I’ve discovered that I hate drawing clouds. They are so difficult to draw realistically and simply because it’s hard to make their shapes and their spacing look natural. Grass is fine though, so are hills.

This was drawn from one reference and my goal is to eventually be able to draw an environment from my mind and piece it together with multiple references. Then in the end I can finally draw warrior cat clan camps properly.

DAY ONE OF LEARNING HOW TO DRAW BACKGROUNDS

This is a series that I made in order to learn abt linear perspective!! I usually draw in my comfort zone so I wanted to try smt new!! Eat up SHABIG shippersദ്ദി‎◍˃ ᵕ ˂◍)

Thanks in advance

Ps love your art so much!

Hello, I am happy you like my backgrounds. 💜🥰

About your question: tbh I am still learning myself. What helps a lot is to look at nature and try to learn the depths.

Start in gray shades and just work on the forms you want to create. You do everything more dark what is closer to the front and lighter for stuff in the back.

Afterwards you can start to fill in some details! For example, flowers, leaves and stones!

Also it depends on your style, if you're gonna outline everything later on or if you paint it. I like to paint my backgrounds, so I don't overdo the details and rather use some texture brushes to paint the details, like grass, flowers and leaves.

With this style not everything has to be exact, you can make some random forms and shapes that just somewhat represent what you want to draw, like I did with this artwork and the grass for example:

Also I can really recommend watching YouTube videos about people showing how to do concept art about backgrounds and how to construct them 😊 that helps me a lot with my learning 😊💜

Trying to practice environments by drawing the Minecraft world I share with some pals!

It’s not perfect, there’s definitely improvement to be had. But it’s a start!

Playing in the mud after rain :0

Once again fanart of mooshie_blue and their husband cause I can :D

use minecraft as a ref 🙏🙏 trust, it genuinely really helps a lot if you're struggling with interior layouts and spacing between objects

studying those photos also helps with future artworks too i feel :DD like my recent one uses one point perspective, so i can just draw those guidelines over the screenshot to figure out how to draw this type of scene in the future

but YEAH study photos. that's rly what you gotta do 😭😭
