Liang Mark shares advice for producing gorgeous nature when developing settings

I take a lot of reference images for my daily practice. Sometimes during my travels, I quickly sketch out some artworks to capture my initial thoughts about landscapes. I then pick suitable angles as references to draw out in my spare time.

This image was inspired by an experience from my hometown. I captured some compositions with my camera, and back at home I tried to express the feelings I’d had at that moment. Although the scene appeared quite serene, the sound of water hitting the stones was actually quite noisy. I included a figure as a dynamic element to help make the scene feel a little less tranquil.
