Could be that this Ultimate Painting program is really crappy, and makes it very difficult to get decent results, in which case you could just try some other applications and have a look at some tutorials.

Or it could be that you simply give up way too easily, in which case the program or activity doesn't matter, and you might as well head back to the TV couch.

If, as loominus said, you are using a crap program then try something else.
But also keep practising.
I myself my crap at art but I managed to develop a cool technique with photoshop that manages (i think) to make my backgrounds look half-passable.

You don't have to get right on down to the nitty gritty of drawing whole backgrounds at this stage.  Just practice drawing the objects that are going to be in it.  The throne, for example.  Then post them here and take people advice.  Then, when you feel you are ready, combine all the objects into one beautiful background.

Things to remember:
Perspective is KEY (unless you're a flagrant practicing surrealist)
Shading and lighting are generally KEY if you want your image to stand out.
Functionality is also KEY (this means does your image work in terms of a walkable, playable background).
Dedication is KEY.

So many keys, anyone would think we were adventure gamers.

The CL is for posting work and getting feedback on it, not for discussing problems with art programs.  I'll lock this for now and when you have some work to show send me a pm and I'll unlock this thread.
