Why no one here draw environments? You all are missing out on taking your art to the next level

Why no one here draw environments

[Anonymous No.4972535]

I do it occasionally but I’m a perspectivelet and too lazy for Robertson so I just freehand

[Anonymous No.4972536]

Because they’re incapable

But I love drawing environments.

It takes time to make a decent environment just to be posted in this shithole, so nah, you get a sketch here and there but no polished work.

That’s a pretty painting

[Anonymous No.4972585]

For me it feels like when you want to draw figures there's a lot of people to hold your hand, but with environments you're kinda on your own to find resources.

Drawing Perspective: How to See It and How to Apply It sounds neat, but I can't find it.

[Anonymous No.4972598]

Anyone else watch the YouTube channel or the guy who wanders around Japan? Super comfy.

[Anonymous No.4972669]

I don't feel the need to work on my backgrounds as much as I do for the rest.
Buildings are basically a few dozen of cubes and triangles glued to each other, and barely anyone notices when I just trace them from photos or fuck up perspective

[Anonymous No.4972876]

>>4972585
basically this, there's a ton of figure drawing reference available
different poses, lighting, body types. there's also portrait ref, hand and feet ref. that are relativity easy to find
there's no shortage of perspective books/vids but finding good reference to start building your visual library is a huge pain so no one really does it.

I've tried several times but holy shit I suck at it.
I guess I should keep pushing it, but it's quite frustrating.

[Anonymous No.4972888]

I try focus on drawing environments but it's really hard to find good source material. I'm envious of all the people who draw portraits and figures.

[Anonymous No.4972892]

environments require perspective knowledge which most of the people here do not have

I’d rather draw sexy pinups of anime girls with realistic rendering

[Anonymous No.4973326]

>>4973269
okay cool but imagine that on a realistic background you'll be the next big coomer!

[Anonymous No.4973396]

I draw environments to the point where my skills of drawing people have become rusty.

[Anonymous No.4973398]

>>4973396

Like I try and draw people and nothing comes to mind sometimes.

[Anonymous No.4973399]

>>4973398

It's very frustrating sometimes.

[Anonymous No.4973400]

>>4973399

Perhaps it's a symptom of my increasing alienation from humanity.

[Anonymous No.4973401]

If you're an artist, you MUST be a patient person.

character artists can't handle figures not being the central focus of a composition.

[Anonymous No.4973479]

>>4972532
i do but it's all part of my concept art portfolio so I just post my furry art instead

[Anonymous No.4973485]

Backgrounds are so boring to look at. I dont care how good at it you are a character artist is way more interesting

[Anonymous No.4973486]

Backgrounds suck for two reasons; they take time and most of time nobody/notices or appreciates them.

[Anonymous No.4973488]

>>4973465

That is garish.

[Anonymous No.4973494]

>>4973264
Right on. I've been watching these sort of videos and drawing to get an idea of how to do street scenes. Ever since then I've been seriously asking questions that i've never asked myself like what actually is a utility pole. What is the average height of a floor in a building? What makes a building believable? In a multi-use building where the first floor is business and the upper floors are apartments -- how do you get up to the apartments?

[Anonymous No.4973495]

>>4973488
It is but it's interesting to look at.

[Anonymous No.4973507]

>>4973494
A pole that caries power or communication lines. 14 feet. Human-sized proportions, unless it's supposed to be intimidating and inhuman. Inconspicuous side entrance away from the business areas.

[Anonymous No.4973509]

>>4973495
It would probably be less overwhelming without that mirrored ceiling.

[Anonymous No.4973513]

>>4972550
Main reason why there really isn't a background general board too

[Anonymous No.4973516]

>>4973509
I think overwhelming is intended in this. shoot even just the table has a lot going on.

[Anonymous No.4973520]

>>4973465
I like it, and I don't usually go for overly busy looks.

[Anonymous No.4973554]

Backgrounds suck. I'm planning on cheating by using 3d. pic related. It does take away from drawing characters but in the long run I think they will help with speed since it's free perspective and interactive composition.

[Anonymous No.4973568]

>>4973554

You can use 3D for layout, but you've got to paint over it.

Otherwise it will look out of place and jarring.

[Anonymous No.4973629]

>>4973568
Yea end end goal is paint over it with the help of photoshops median filter. Also got to make colors pop especially shifting the shadows to a more cooler hue. Lastly a light blur and some color correction should make it look passable. It looks lifeless and static raw.
