What are the best resources for learning to draw interiors and scenery? I'm pretty happy with where I'm at right now with drawing characters and objects just sort of floating in space, but I'm absolute shit at doing any sort of background. I know perspective is going to be a thing to work on, but anything you can suggest will be appreciated. Coloring isn't an issue as I mostly work in black and white.

>i can do perspective and color, those will be easy
>asks for environment advice, says fundamentals will be easy
>fundamentals are a part of everything, they have nothing to do with what you are asking
>oh shit, what are you doing...
a-are you ok, anon?
Feng Zhu is pretty good if you already know how to draw, because a lot of his videos are environment-related, and he answers a lot of more advanced art problems. The one downside is he doesn't talk about fundamentals, so you'll learn more from him once you get familiar with environment-related fundamentals (perspective, composition and contrasts are things you can kinda get away without if you only do characters, but definitely need as a generalist.)

I never said anything would be easy, I just said I wanted to prioritize working on the things I feel I am behind on.

B-but anon. Monochromatic depth/values are still 'coloring' and are really fucking important to a dynamic environment - Even using a cartoony style like your image.

This probably won't work. You might be used to, as you said, characters and objects, but you should try to learn environments from the very beginning.

Sorry. I know about values. I probably should have just left that part out in the OP.
So do you have any resources (videos, books, hell even infographic tutorials) to get started from the beginning?
>>2540731
no one is gonna spoon feed you this info, op. you can find that fundies list somewhere on CA.org, go look for it.

Not OP, but go be useless somewhere else then. Why bother wasting your time making posts with "you can't do x x or x" but then go on to pretend your time is too precious to actually give any functional advice whatsoever?

same reason you waste your time posting on LAS with no progress between this weeks post and March posts.
Composition is obviously going to be an important element. As soon as you're introducing more than a guy floating around you need to start considering where your horizon is, what objects are where, your foreground / middleground / background, etc. If you don't already do thumbnails, get in the habit of practising them. If you're confident with values you've already got a start.
There are lots of books on landscape drawing in the book thread. If you want to learn to do environments you should know how to do landscapes / urban sketches. Then you can introduce characters to them. Obviously perspective is important here, especially with buildings.

I don't participate in LAS. Was "I shitpost for the same reason you draw" supposed to be a jab?
>>2540977
at least you can keep up with the jokes.
>>2540979
Do you think this is a motherfucking game?

I have to say, thumbnails are really helping me out here. Thank you for suggesting that, I had completely disregarded them when I first heard about them, but after giving them a try today things seem to be coming together much smoother. It's funny how a little thing like that can help so much.
