OH MY GAWWDDDD HOW CAN YOU FULFILL WHAT I WANT TO DESIRE FROM LONG TIME AGOO, tutorial about background??Thanks a millions man!

Also can i ask you a few things about making a background? There's someone i know who said that if we want to made an easy and fast backgorund just add from another existed images and edit it in photoshop? Do you think that tips works just fine or do you not recommend it for beginner artist like me? And also i always tried to look at references to draw background but it's always looks like crap, how can that happen... Nevertheless your tutorial is awesome and gave me a bigger picture of drawing background, stay awesome man!

Haha no problem xD

What you're talking about is called photobashing, concept artists use that technique all the time to get quick and detailed results. However I do think it can be helpful for beginners to get used to doing backgrounds. Just be careful not to rely on it too much.

As for why using references and still not getting results you pictured, you have to really study the nuances in the reference, ask why it is like that, and try to emulate it.

Good luck on backgrounding!
