It is somewhat less massive than Jupiter and orbits a bit closer to its star in a more eccentric orbit, but the classical concept of a gas giant with frozen moons probably still applies, so we Earth-based beings would not be totally unfamiliar with such a world. Anyway, here is the link to the image: View of a gas giant from a frozen moon Note that the full-size picture is more clear in detail and that this one was scaled down greatly to meet the guidelines of this website, but I think it is still a nice image.

There, you'll find a link to a website that covers a lot of the basics. Of course, practice is required, and artistic talent develops with practice, but with the right tools, time, and motivation, almost anyone can make art such as this.
