how can i make this look like grass?

by photoshopping pictures of grass on to it

Look at how grass strings interact with light IRL and try to emulate that

By studying grass, and learning to render it, like I told you in the other thread.

If you're looking for step by step instructions, that's not happening. Put the work in.

Don't ever use that brush again and you'll be able to draw grass.

Learn edges and value. Then it doesn't really matter how you render, and it'll just look like grass.

No Op but what is edges and value?

1) by trying. often. until it clicks
2) by taking the idea of grass and applying it to a drawing until you actually start seeing the grass as you imagined it. Or at least close enough.
Yes, these two options are rather similar I know.

and dont give up after like 40 strokes of the brush. decide what type of grass, how long, wet or dry, lush or dry, what lighting. and keep drawing till you get there

There are many ways to paint grass.

First of all try to be clear what kind of style you are painting in. Are you going for a Richard Schmid type of painterly look? Then you are going to have a lot of abstract brush strokes and soft edges with a few sharper edges here and there.

If you're going for a more tight illustrated style you are going to paint individual strands of grass in layers, atleast closest to the viewer.

Look at art you like and try to emulate it.
