Hello Friends, today we will see how to create a landscape from start to finish! I chose a photo of my vacations in Chile, it has a very symmetrical appeal and I thought it would be interesting to make buildings and vegetation while practicing perspective.

Preparation and Sketch

The first thing I did to help me set the mood, is to create a light blue gradient with gray, to establish the sun and not draw on the white, it is a trick that I learned recently

Create a two-point perspective ruler and place the points somewhat far away, out of focus until you felt they were at the correct distance.

Create another perspective rule this time of a point, which I am going to use for the stair that is centered, and I started to draw the base of the illustration, I made sure to have activated the options of adjust to rule, adjust to special rule to make my lines easier

The next thing is to establish some base colors in a normal layer below our sketch, so we will have established the general structure of our landscape

Detailed and Textures

For the bushes I used the same default brush called: Foliage, what I did was use it several times, first with a dark color at maximum opacity, and then with lighter colors at decreasing opacity, try to keep in mind, in What places did the sun shine, to use a lighter color there

I looked for a brick structure in the assessments, but I did not find any that convinced me, so I took a small piece of a brick wall, from another photo I took that day, and paste it, using the copy stamp tool complete the Wall

This texture created was very important because it was what I used to cover the entire building, use the transform tool to give it the correct angle and make it look integrated, if you look closely you will see how much this texture was recycled in the drawing

You will see that some are gray, or are brighter, but I assure you it is the same texture, what I did was use the tonal correction tools (color balance, contrast, lighting) and the different transformation tools (perspective, free transformation)

Like the brick wall, I copied a small part of the staircase and lengthened it using the copy buffer and the transform tool and thus I was able to complete the texture of the staircase without it being interrupted by people.

The tree-shaped brushes are very useful, just use them as a silhouette, and to make the flowers pink use the default flower tool (in decorations) clematida, use the pink color and activate the powder effect and particle size, so I could make some very subtle pink flowers

Then I realized that I did not have a palm brush, so I made one, basically I drew a leaf and transformed it several times to paste the palm tree (the trunk did not have much problem, just a rectangle) using different variations of transform

Draw the shadows with the lasso tool for the more defined ones, and with the airbrush on the stairs as it was more subtle, use a dark blue color to make it look better

The door was interesting, in the original image it didn't make it look so interesting so what I did was draw a rectangle, edit it with tomorrow's transformation, and use a texture to give it a more mysterious touch, as it was very clear. initially use level correction to integrate it better, good to try, drawing is a part of experimenting and observing it works

Finishing and finishing touches

Although the ladder fit very well, it looks a bit out of place, so I used the pictorized filter to integrate it more as an image and I liked it better, limit the thickness of the line so that it does not look caricature

Use the gradient again to give the second color to the sky and it would look more like the photo, then fill a whole layer in black in overlay mode and erase what the light touches to give it a slightly more dramatic touch and this would be our final version:

Remember that in clip studio you can experiment with more colors and touches using the correction or gradient layers, using a gradient in different ways we can totally change the feeling for our final image, example:

That's all! Thanks for sharing, I sincerely hope it will be helpful and we'll see you in a next tutorial! Emerald Witch greets you, let's keep in touch:
