some tips
i have come across a need to be able to draw pretty accurate sketches of landscapes in front of me.
i need some tips on keeping the objects in the sketch as accurately distanced as possible. (would accurate depth be the words i'm looking for? :s)
so yeah, i have no idea where to start. as you can probably tell from this horribly vague post...

Use vanishing points!!!!
Seriously.
Other than that, pay attention to the small details that make the landscape what it is. Focus on colour, contrast, and depth to the picture. You don't want too much of everything.

i think depth and scale were the words i was looking for, my objects that are meant to be at the back of the scene look like they are the same distance away as the ones meant to be at the front. =/

EXAMPLE PLEASE.
objects in the back should be smaller, possibly lighter or vaguely drawn, front should have emphasized clarity/detail, maybe even a warmer color.
Warms colors tend to pop while cool colors recede in a picture.

Maybe it's because you're looking at the drawing that way. I'd just put less detail on the objects in the background, and naturally, more detail on the objects in the foreground.
I don't draw, but if I were doing this on Photoshop, I'd use the blur tool for the background, and the sharpen tool for the foreground. I know this is irrelevant, but I hope you see my point.

Wait is this a drawing like straight up pencil or a photoshop thing? Since it's in the Graphic Shop section it confuses me. ;c
But see, the depth in this should be very obvious. It looks like trees continue deeper/farther because it is sketched so vaguely to suggest the distance.
If it's drawing a landscape in front of you, think of how you see things closer to you clear and large.
