Brick Landscape Tutorial - Minecraft style

In this tutorial I'll show you how to create a brick landscape fast and easy.

First step: Create the bricks.

1. Draw a square and rotate it to 45 degrees. 
2. Scale it to the half size of the original square. Don't scale it evenly - compress it like in the images. 
3. Duplicate it to get the basement and pull it to the lower angle of your first square.
4. Create some rectangles for the side walls.

This is your brick which will be your initial object for everything else you create. 

Second Step: Make the bricks unique.

1. Add some details like little stones or grass.
2. Create 3-4 different bricks of a kind to make your final landscape look random.
3. Add some shadows. Your final image will look more 3-dimensional.

That's it! Now you can start to build your landscape. My landscape will be a snowy mountain with a vale full of fir trees. 

It will take a time until you can copy a group of bricks to another place to go on faster. It's a bit like building with lego bricks or building in Minecraft - I like it!

Here you can see my final landscape. I did some photoshop actions later to get some more atmosphere!
