I have never been very good at drawing any kind of nature. Flowers and trees are what im the worst at. Are there any tips you could offer when drawing nature scenes? Yours are so wonderfully done so I would really appreciate it!

Well, thank you! To be honest I forced myself into this kind of thing with Strays and I have to attribute whatever skill I have with backgrounds/nature to it. I’ve been forced into drawing nature in that for like 8 years now.

My best advice would be to look up scenic pictures and draw from them. You can’t get much better reference than real life and I often use it myself. Most of the sketches I did on those two brush pen pages were from refs I Googled, I just hyper stylized them.

I also look at scenery that other artists have drawn that I enjoy and try to replicate what I like from it. Sometimes you can pick up tips and tricks just by redrawing something someone else made and seeing how they did it. I pull from things like anime, cartoons or movie backgrounds as well.

I’m not sure if this was helpful, but good luck! :)
