This looks so nice! How did you get the grass and trees to look that nice and do you have any tutorials or anything like that you would .recommend?

Joshsouza responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I assume you are talking about the orange-yellow grass, which i painted by drawing the individual blades of grass in different colors with a low-opacity pressure sensitive round brush. I made sure to draw over it many times until it blended together nicely. After that I used the photoshop mixer brush tool as a colorless blender just a little bit to reduce the sharpness.

The tree leaves were drawn in a similar method, but using different shaped brushes to give the leaves some texture. I painted all the leaves in one layer, but kept painting over it with different low-opacity brush colors until i got the desired depth and color.

Regarding online tutorials, I would recommend this free website that hosts informative videos about digital artwork: https://www.ctrlpaint.com/getting-started
