Is there any rescources that break down nature into a drawing method that is easy to understand? I want something that breaks down trees and plants in the same way Loomis breaks down the human body into basic shapes. There IS an order to how tree branches spread from the trunk and how flower petals grow, but I can't figure it out. Its so mysterious.

If you knew how to draw like what Loomis teaches, you'd be able to apply that to anything you ever wanted to draw.
You obviously don't, so you should probably work on that ol' Loomising.

I have books that cover this stuff. To get the collection of books I have I suggest going to the pirate bay and search keywords art book or drawing/painting. My internet is too slow to upload shit

I don't have any resources, but I would recommend going outside to a park, trail, or your backyard and look at everything for a really long time.

One thing I recently noticed about trees is that branches always grow UP, towards sunlight. Noticing this has made drawing trees a million times easier. Same applies to pretty much all plants.

Don't you mean, "are there"?

I have noticed this as well and see how it makes a huge difference. It makes me wonder if there are other patterns in nature we overlook. I’d really like to have an overview of everything because some of the nature I want to paint isn’t local (deserts, mountain tops, etc.)

Look how Peter Han draws landscapes and sceneries with plants, that might help. I think his book is called the Dynamic Bible or something.

Watch Vilppu's landscape and composition videos.

Break it down by first thumb-nailing, it's the easiest method.

Want to learn how to draw nature? I will tell you how.

Go to sites like pixabay where you can find free photography. Find some pics with forest or creek or nature search. Put that picture in PureRef. Open Photoshop. Look at reference and see it in simple forms and colors.

Put/paint what you see (not what you THINK you see) in your Photoshop canvas.

Do this every day. Put your result online (tumblr). See huge progress in a year.

Yes, this is on the /ic/ repertoire
If you need it, tell me so I can upload it. You can find it online, I think, since I downloaded it from /ic/.

Yeah good luck figuring that out.

Contrary to how most humans share the same structure, Tree's branch according to environmental factors throughout their lifetime. And unless your some hyper-autist you will not be able to predict or 'orderly replicate' these factors.
