This image is a drawing guide titled “Landscapes 101”, offering simple but effective tips for improving landscape sketches. It uses humorous “not like this” vs. “do this instead” comparisons to teach better techniques.

✏️ Key Drawing Tips from “Landscapes 101”

1. Grass

• ❌ Don’t draw grass with repetitive, upright lines.

• ✅ Vary textures and angles; make grass larger in the foreground and smaller in the background to show depth.

2. Rocks

• ❌ Avoid simple, boxy “rock” shapes.

• ✅ Think in 3D forms, use shading, add cracks and rough textures, and integrate them into the terrain (not floating on grass).

3. Clouds

• ❌ Don’t make perfect cotton balls.

• ✅ Draw clouds as irregular forms with variation. Use line thickness and shading to give them volume and softness.

4. Mountains

• ❌ Avoid pyramid-like shapes.

• ✅ Use triangular shapes with jagged edges, shading on one side for depth, and overlap peaks to create realism.

5. Trees

• ❌ Avoid lollipop-style trees (circle on a stick).

• ✅ Think of trees as built from cones, spheres, and cylinders. Add texture, variation, and use clusters to show a forest.

🌄 General Advice

• Think about light, shadow, and perspective.

• Always anchor objects like rocks and trees into the environment.

• Simplify shapes but build complexity with texture and detail.
