Your scenery drawings are really beautiful and I know it’s mostly hard work and practice, but do you have any tips for breaking a landscape down? Because sometimes it can seem a bit overwhelming to start.

1. Set up your horizon line. Think about dividing your composition into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. Use the intersections to locate your main subjects.

2. Know where you vanishing point (focal point) is. Plan ahead of time and use one perspective at a time. 

A) Overlap various elements within your composition so that some are forced forward or backward in the scene.

B) Use less detail, texture, and definition when painting objects in the mid-ground and background of the landscape.

C) Paint with lighter values and less contrast for distant elements

D) Use cooler colors to push elements farther into the background.

E) Use warmer, darker colors to bring elements forward into the foreground.

F) As elements recede in the distance, paint them at a much smaller scale than objects in the foreground.

E) D and E are interchangeable.

3. Use wide-angle lens to look at your compositions.

5. Unity and Variety

Keep in mind that there’s not one absolute way to create good compositions. Start your art with the big shapes and then move on to smaller shapes as you progress, it is going to save you a lot of time. Study photo theories and movie screenshots is also a good start point.

Good luck with everything.

The largest intact piece of Y’Shaarj was the Old God’s icy heart, a mass of diseased flesh seething with Void energies. Rather than destroy the heart, Ra built a subterranean vault to contain it and neutralize its evil.
