Description
posting this so you can see the hilarious disparity between my cat drawing ability and my background drawing abilityfrustrated because i KNOW this needed to be more complicated but I dont know how to flesh it out?? i dont understand the process of rendering natural-looking scenery or what i'm supposed to do to make it look good and detailed and so it just always comes out looking stupid lol

looks nice tho!! the colors are really great ;o; i think the background needs more detailed texture and more contrast if that makes sense? :0

yeah i see what you're saying-
im just at a loss for how to do that, is what my deal is ._. i cant figure out how to add detail without it looking stupid and inconsistent

ah that makes sense :'0 personally i struggled for a long time with that and i just finally figured out that i need to add most details slowly, carefully, and by hand lol, idk what would work best for you tho β₯

thanks !! <3
hey how long does a background piece, fully done, take for you?Β just so I can get an estimate to if i'm spending enough time?

depends on what's in the background; if it has a lot of objects/stuff it can take probably around 3-8 hours??? or more lol
whereas if it's only something like a simple sky with clouds i can usually bang it out in less than an hour or two

okay! that makes sense, I feel a lot better then
I've been under the impression that I need to do one a day or i'll never improve
hey question what do you do for tree/bush leaves?

ah heck no it's pretty rare for me to get a background done in a day (unless i have all day to draw which is great xD)
for leaves and stuff, i usually put down a basic layer of color using any good leaf stamp brush, and then start adding in details by hand to make the leaves pop :0 idk if that makes sense lol

this is so cute!! the background and general feeling is actually super nice? i looove the pink/red tint, it has such a sentimental vibe
but! if it's about how well they match/suit each other that's bothering you then you could try either softer lines to make the characters more paint-y to fit in with the more blended bg, or add some hard/bold lines to the bg
i'm REALLY not great at it but kinda like thisΒ www.furaffinity.net/view/30205β¦Β !! at first the character stood out really badly against the softer bg so i "painted" him as well so everything would mix better
or! a way quicker way of blending stuff is just using the blur tool on some parts of the lineart lol
www.furaffinity.net/view/29939β¦Β that's what i used here!

eek idk if this helps but-- if you overlap the grass with the cats they feel more a part of the background? and if you overlay the whole drawing with the same color it also helps it all go together? it looks amazing though :0
