What's the best way to go about learning to draw fields in digital? I'm trying to emulate Ghibli's fields in photoshop but nothing comes out looking good.

Lack of detail, crooked horizon line, no clouds

>>7147997The best way would be to pull up one of their backgrounds and try to copy it. Right now your picture lacks depth, so it looks like I'm staring at a very close inclined hill. If that's the goal, great job. If not, you can add depth by fixing these things:1. The color green at the top of your field and at the bottom are the same. As the field gets further away from us, it will get much lighter.2. You have detail all throughout the field. We should see a lot of detail guiding our eyes in the front, a bit of detail in the middle, and depending on how far you wanna push the field out you can just use completely flat colors in the back. Seeing individual blades of grass on the horizon is bringing it way too close to us.3. There's not a lot of contrast in the grass shadows. As grass gets closer to us it usually has some pretty deep shadows that appear. You do have a bit of those shadowed blades of grass, I'd push it further. These shadows give you interesting opportunities for appealing shapes.4. You're building your field with round, puffy hills and blended shadows. These won't really be visible as they get further away. Broad patches of grass will get flatter, and tend to join in triangular shapes. Really pay attention to how small and thin most of the shapes get as they get further away.You can see all of these things in this picture. Look up more Ghibli pictures to see these things in action, and look up real fields too. Even real fields will have all of these things.

Fucked up perspective

>>7147997Digital painting isn't too different in terms of technique, so I'd just recommend watching these videos of the background artists themselves and following along:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH2q9ZJMaAUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTZhMGMe3SU

>>7148052the ground isnt flat you fucking retard. stop giving advice and kill yourself.
>>7148052>>7150803I assumed it was supposed to be a hill or something.
>>7148052Is he for real.
>>7150803>>7150897if it was a hill the grass in the distance wouldn't be the same size as the grass near the POV
