Thank you for the book link. I love backgrounds as much as characters, however I struggle with perspective some....I can see the buildings in my head and cannot get it to look right on paper. I am going to get the book! Thank you for your Frank advice!

a lot about art is just taking time to make it look good. I mean there are dead lines for comic book artists but if your just doing it for fun you need to take your time on the little things.
One thing that I've had trouble with is the fact that I always want to just get things done and get it over with so I don't spend enough time on it. I wouldn't like drawing backgrounds because it would take such a long time. But as you say, you've gotta learn to love it!

Personally I love doing backgrounds!!! XD Have yet to put any up but I feel that backgrounds can sometimes be even more important than the characters. I mean lets face it, if you want to be proffesional, every single one of your shots isn't going to be a full body or a close up. There will be times where the background takes around %90 percent of the panel. So I've already decided that backgrounds are something I enjoy. Lol. ^_^

Thank you for the advice - drawing backgrounds has always made me a bit nervous, so I'm going to try harder. Artwork never came instantly, did it? Thank you again.

AWesome man. I think you did the right thing changing the color of each background. Each one is very detaled and beautiful, and without that I would have gotten lost.

Thanks for the advice. Im just starting out with backgrounds and trying to learn more on perspective because i wanna illistrate a comic for my friends and drawing concepts for a rpg game me and other buds want to make. Heck Im still working on shading and inking characters but hopefully more practice and some art classes in college will help me. Defintely will check out that "How To" you suggested.

" I like to pretend my BGs are another character unto themselves that create a setting for my cast." Best motivation for backgrounds. I'm starting tonight.

Wait...Do you draw the background first, or the main element?

Thank you. I'm not fond of drawing backgrounds, but your advice is just what I needed. I won't learn anything unless I get out there and just DRAW, and hopefully, I'll like drawing them. Again, thank you!

Thank-you! Wow, that was inspirational. I feel like knocking down the front door and running across town to the park. I still need a sketchbook because I ran out of room in all of mine but I'll do it the second I get it! THANKS!
