Which is harder for you to draw, a character or an environment.

I have been learning anatomy and drawing c characters and recently tried to do an environment painting and was met with horror. If I paint the environment the way I do characters it will take too long. I have tried to group forms and values to draw a blurry photo and then just work on enhancing the clarity. It has not been working.

Well, do it anyways and then you'll get better and cut your time.

The environment IS a character, so I enjoy doing them equally (actually, I sorta like doing backgrounds MORE these days than the characters).
The thing is that settings are boring if you don't give them character. If you personalize them, make them unique, and put effort into bringing them to life then they will be just as fun to draw as anything else. In my webcomic, I tend to go overboard with them and end up putting a shitload of detail into backgrounds that are just gonna end up covered by speech bubbles, but I like them because I can always find a little detail to add to make it seem more lived in. Or an easter egg to hide for people to discover.
There is so much that you can do with the settings, it just takes giving them the same amount of attention and interest as the characters

human beings are macrocosms of the universe. any fuck can draw a tree. but nobody can draw the exact dimensions of a human anything because it's so specific to us.

What the fuck are you even talking about? No one can draw the exact dimensions of a specific tree either you dumbass and most artists prefer figure drawing.
