Check out my Free Line and Color Quick Start Guide: https://www.thedrawingcodex.com/quick...
You will learn how to develop a simple reliable process in Photoshop. You also get all the brushes and PSDs that I use in the guide (the same ones I use for most of my illustrations).

In this video we are doing a simple drawing lesson focusing on how to draw backgrounds... more specifically how to draw forest scenes as backgrounds.

These concepts are the same ones I teach and use for every type of background. It's all about understanding your set pieces and trying to apply basic composition to support your story!

Remember that 'Story' is really just what you want to tell... There are visual stories in landscape paintings where all we see is an environment. It's a matter of leading the eye and keeping the viewer looking where you want.
