(Step-by-step tutorial)

So, let’s start drawing rocks. The rock itself is not smooth, it has many faces and edges. So when you paint rocks, add details and chips, scuffs, and additional blocks of rock to make it look like rock as much as possible. Draw a sketch. 

Then create a new layer below the sketch layer and fill the stone with color with the Lasso Sub Tool. Please note that the rock can be of different colors.

We continue to draw stone using Lasso Sub Tool. Let's draw a basic shadow. Pick the color of the current rock and carefully go down the color palette into a cold shade. Don't be afraid to make this shade contrast with the main color of the rock.

When you finish drawing the main shadow, it's time to draw an additional, not so powerful one. Just choose a color that is darker and cooler than the color of the rock, but not the same as the main shadow.

Merge down all the layers with rocks except the sketch (make this one more invisible). We begin to draw the edges of the rock. Those edges of the stone that protrude are lighter and more exposed to corrosion and wind. So choose a lighter color and draw these details. And those parts that enter the depth of the stone, draw in a dark color.

Let's add some effects and volume to the picture. Take the blue color and create a new layer in Multiply mode. Now, with the Soft Brush, draw a shadow at the bottom that fades upwards.

Take the yellow color and create a new layer in Glow dodge mode. With the Soft Brush, draw a light at the top that fades down. To make the rock more interesting, add cracks on it. Take a darker color for the place where the crack will be and draw it. And then choose a lighter color and show the edges of the crack.

Time to paint the grass. We will draw two options - a lot of grass in the distance and a few blades of grass nearby.

First of all we need to draw this ellipse shape where the grass grows.

Then draw the first blades of the grass with the same color.

After that, it's time to add new colors and contrasts to the grass. Because that's how you can see that grass is grass.

Draw more and more grass and details until it looks great.

Look now where the grass is growing from. A flat ellipse doesn't look very natural and plastic, but you and I will draw the crowns of grass and everything will be perfect.

Create a new layer in Multiply mode and with a Soft brush draw some gradients.

Play with different light effects. You can make grass more saturated and bright with Glow dodge and Overlay layers.

Here we have drawn a lot of grass from afar, and now we will draw the grass close-up.

Draw a sketch of a blade of grass. These are fast lines and pointed shapes. Some blades of grass can even bend and it will look cute.

Create a new layer below the sketch and fill it with the main color of the grass with the Lasso Tool. ​​When grass is close-up, I recommend creating a new layer for each blade of grass.

Draw a shadow for each blade of grass with a darker and cooler color.

Then you can merge all the layers of the grass and create a new layer in Multiply mode clipped to it. Draw a soft shadow with a Soft brush.

Create a new layer in Add (Glow) mode and draw light with a Soft brush too.

Draw texture and the thickness of the blades of grass.

Let's draw clouds. Even two. One cloud in the daytime sky, another in the evening sky.

Find a selection pen and fill the main shapes of the clouds.

Let's draw a shadow on the clouds. Create a new layer attached to the main layer and start drawing rounded shadows.

Use Glow dodge and Add (Glow) layers to make beautiful light effects with a Soft brush.
