I'm not sure where to post this...

However... I have some ideas... something that icnlude many pictures, that describe a whole new world (Island). Many beaches, forests, jungle, ancient buildings... It all have a story

Now the problem... I'm not very good with environments... all the plants and greeny things... oh and the water too.

Any tips for creating grass, trees, palms...? Some nice tutorials would be great too :]

p.s.

sorry for the bad english

This is something I would like help in as well. I haven't seen many tuoeials around for painting and drawing backgrounds of any kind so far. I just try to wingi it using photo refrence and real life as refrence.

One tip I have is to not try to draw every leaf, every branch, every blade of grass...etc. Think of them clumped together into groups, and shade/light them as clumps in groups, and then just depict some individual leaves, branches, blades of grass here and there to give the impression that it's got all that detail.
