As someone else said, I don't think you want to be creating organic forms when doing background art.
IMO, the most important thing to understand when doing environment from imagination is understanding the size of everything.
The general size for a Japanese house, from floor to roof is about 240 cm, the general size from floor to the top of a doorway is 200 cm, the size of a "normal" window is 120 cm, etc etc
If you understand the general size of everything, it becomes much easier to set things in space, and not have it look unnatural. If you try to eyeball it, you will come up with very strange environments.
I took a picture of Yoshida Seiji's book about environment drawing to illustrate what I'm talking about
Yeah, you both were definitely right about that. Those are also good tips I'll keep in mind. For now I'm gonna try to take things slow and start with just using reference, then in time try building things from imagination. That's a really good book by the way, wish there was an English translation.
