Hello, everyone.

I need some help with scenery.  When it comes to things like backgrounds, decorations and tile sets I am stumped - I don't even know where to begin.  What should I be studying and practicing to hone this part of my mastery?

Fond a ref image on google or better yet take a photo and pixel it.

post some examples of what you can do and people can help, but as is this question is basically "how do I pixel art"  if that is your question, there are some great tutorials you can find here.  I like to study work that I really like to see if I can figure out why I like it.  If you're stumped on where to begin... make a grass tile, when thats good, put something on the grass tile (flower, rocks, etc), when thats good add more.  And so on until you have a background

Ah, I'm sorry.  I didn't know the appropriate place to post if I didn't necessarily have anything to show right away.



I spent most of today studying terrain techniques and going through a copious amount of trial-and-error to come up with some basic tiles.  I still have a lot more to do (like proper corner pieces) but this is a good start, I think.  My biggest problem was that I was too ambitious with my initial thought.  I just needed to do something very small and basic and the details would come to me in the process.  I am still learning how I work best!
