It's me again with probably the worst piece I've posted in this forum

I have no clue on how to draw backgrounds, and that's a big problem since i'm the only artist working in my project (that means I must make them)

I decided to make the backgrounds simple cell shaded (no more than 3 colors per layer) to hide a little the fact that I suck at these (and not overwork myself), however I still can't find a way to do that without them looking awful



This is how the hills look against the rest of the artwork (I have a separate topic for the background as a whole, so this one is just the hills)

Also, if someone has a tutorial or techniques or knowledge that can be useful when spriting backgrounds, it will be MORE than aprecciated

I don't think they're that awful... To make them blend in better with the rest of the landscape, try toning down the greens a bit, make them warmer, less shockingly green.
Half a noob figuring out stuff.
