Environments are the same as anything else. How to get better? Study them, draw and paint them. Pay attention to what you're doing. The image you linked is a simple landscape, like any fine artist would paint, with fantasy elements added. Study landscapes, lighting, and color. Color, and getting the values is crucial for anything realistic.
This isn't something you'll learn in a week, if you start now, you may start producing solid work in a couple of months, with hard work and some talent.

Honestly, this is unacceptable levels of hand holding, which is too common for this forum. If you can't even get past figuring out simple concepts like this, then you'll never progress as an artist.

Hey OP here,thnx for the answer!

But Again you only answered in checklists, which is a great thing and trust me I-m aware of the basics.

What I'm really interested in seeing is what sort of study program do you guys make for yourselves for those who are into env design.

Not a tutorial list but what do you study and how much of it (how many copies/virtual plein air, architecture design...)

Just looking for more SPECIFICS from people who spent more time figuring it out than I did.

How do you personally approach it from a the standpoint of someone who actually practices environments.

anyway thank you for getting down from your high horse to hold my hand bruh! :P

I think you're misunderstanding the point of his post. Almost nobody is lucky enough to have everything laid out in front of them (unless you pay for school or are friends with a good artist/some industry pro). I can tell you're asking for a regimen in a thin-veiled fashion; It sounds like you want something in such specifics that you're losing focus on the big picture: just fucking draw

Have you actually -done- any environments or environment studies at all? I'd love to see them.

I use onenote. It's like a virtual whiteboard but you can paste pictures, audio, links, write notes, charts--it does it all. I even paste my influence map and stuffs in it. Whenever I come across helpful advice there is a screen snippet tool that captures things. It's my best friend really.

You could also try the Pomodoro method. You just have to keep track of your Pomodoros.
Steps:
1) Decide on the task.
2) Set your timer to 25 mins.
3) Work on the task until the timer goes off.
4) After the timer rings keep track of how many pomodoros you've done (the intervals are called pomodoros).
5) Repeat Steps 2-4 until you've done 4 pomodoros.
6) Take a longer break (30 mins), and go back to step 1.

The advantage to this is that you don't feel defeated if you don't get your to-do list done. The whole point is to put time in, rather than be "done" with your studies anyways, right? Plus pomodoros are simple to keep track of.

hehe i drew the pic in OP's post.

Those are about as good as you're gonna get for a decent price if you want something that's posable

Mixed reality is where it's at. Life size real models with rendered lighting and virtual lamps in your home. Portable life drawing. You can get as close up to Veronica's pussy as you want and feel know shame!

That's a very cool idea, I could totally see it being an app. It would actually not be that difficult to do.

Tilt Brush is a cool toy, but I think Blocks (http://store.steampowered.com/app/533970/Blocks_by_Google/) is closer to a useable tool

I could quickly do a rough blocking in with this and import it to something like blender or zbrush for refinement

Picrelated is something I made. It's shit but you get the idea. It was cool laying on back on the floor and bolt greebles to the underside of the ship like some motherfucking space mechanic.

The future of digital art creation is going to be wild

bump, I'm interested too.

Twitch, huh?

You guys should consider Picarto too

Here's the chart for guidance on sizes, i bought M. I took neck posture into account as well and would rather have my hand sitting on the tablet while my eyes viewing directly at a monitor, had I picked the cintiq I would've had to take more breaks to give my neck some rest.

>>3053114
OP here, thanks for the quick reply.
any other things to consider on your experience?
is there a difference on line length input despite surface on the tablet. i mean for ex: a 2 inch line on the medium it a 5 inch line on the large with equivalent screen size and canvas magnification? or is it just more space for longer lines on the larger tablet, they both have the same pressure sensitivity and lpi resolution.

>>3053136
I've been meaning to buy an intuos medium or a cintiq13pro, hopefully we get some insight so I can finally make my decision as well

do these stretches every hour:

take breaks
get grip extenders (pic related)
correct your posture
use heat/ice where it hurts

>>3056054
Try less shaky

SGs were typically pore-sealed with a special brownish red sealer, for the mahogany, then used nitrocellulose based clear coats, then a nitro-based cherry coat, then a clear coat.

Going from a light wood to a mahogany will take some work, and might not ever get that rich look. I'd practice on scraps of wood starting with a mahogany stain, then a clear coat, then a transparent cherry. If you don't have a spray gun, this layer with be very difficult, and will need a ton of sanding. Then a clear coat.

If you've never done furniture finishes...good luck. This is probably not a project to learn on.

music. Look what it's done to niggers and culture. Music is way more influential.

Personally i always found that art and music were two sides of the same coin. Why would music be better than art? And why would art be better than music? I doubt there is an objective answer to these. They compliment each other very well anyhow

art fucking sucks
