Me: *close my eyes*
Wow... This place looks amazing, the trees, the mountains, the sun, th- is that a stop sign?

Also a fun tip for people to just draw backgrounds in general: Using a game like Sims 4 is a really great way to map out what you want to do :D It's helped me a lot when drawing comics because I can easily see all the different angles of the background. Just thought it might help you guys out :D

*closes eyes*

Me : woah...
*I can’t imagine anything*

If I had this kind of ability I would literally never stop drawing luscious beautiful forests and mountains

[XTranceBeatX]

I love how he makes drawing look so much fun. After years of trying to get "perfect" at it, you kinda forget about the fun it brings. Thank you for that ross

Even his thumbnail sketches look like masterpieces...it's terrifying how good he is XD

For anyone who wants some really good references, Genshin Impact has a load ton of gorgeous landscapes with lots of detail. You can even change the angle of it for perspective. Someone else said Sims 4, which is also good for more modern landscapes. Minecraft is made up of blocks, but it works just as well! I like using these references because you can change the angle to your liking so you can get an awesome perspective, and lots of vibrant colors. A bonus for minecraft is you can build how you want your landscape to look. I definitely reccomend using these if you can't find any real life landscapes that suit your tastes. You can still use real life ones for lighting and how water looks, though. :) Have a great time painting everyone! Wishing you all the best. ❤

I've been honing my skills on backgrounds and this video seriously helped a lot! Thanks Ross ❤❤❤
