Learning to Draw Landscapes that can be used for Backgrounds♪

Do you have a solid grip on the foundation and tricks of drawing landscape paintings? In fact, once you memorize the basics - such as using the effects of media softwares such as Photoshop and Sai to express light and shadow, or the right method of picking up a purse - you can easily improve on the way you draw illustrations of background and scenery. If you follow the right steps in order, starting with the rough copy, even as a beginner you’ll be able to draw realistic looking scenery, including some that seem difficult to grasp such as the sea, sky, forests or mountains.

This time, we would like to introduce a special feature on works that focus on methods of drawing landscape paintings and backgrounds, by teaching and making-of. These illustrations are full of techniques that are good not only for landscape painting but also for backgrounds of illustrations. For all you drawing beginners out there, as well as those of you confident of your skills, how about trying and learning something new? Please enjoy!
