It wasn't until last year with @DevinElleKurtz grass/foliage brushes that I found the 'fun factor' for me w/ BGs.

I had bought brushes to use, but made my own using the tutorial videos instead.

And it turned BGs into (still slow, but) fun 'puzzles' I love to solve ever since

Since doing hyper detail paintings like that was super time consuming, I wound up dialing back and returning to doing cartoony art. But I kept kind of expanding the BG elements to almost diorama platform like vignettes. Give the characters somewhere to belong and stand on.

But eventually I hit a point where I was REALLY inspired by wildlife art and animal portraits where there's plants and stuff framing the animal, and that wound up being what started to ease me into BG art again.

But in honesty I kinda avoided BGs for a long time. I did start a few times, but the majority of it was by hand, and so the learning curve was steeper and made it not as fun. (My color choices also tended to lean into heavy yellows LOL).

A thing I do for traditional art to save paper is use 3D props to figure out the perspective/background. I put the thumbnail on a flat plane in the 3D space to figure things out, then make a digital sketch to print out and transfer to sketchbook/art paper using a lightbox. https://t.co/ky9jj2ycBm

Still not sure if I'll go back to regularly posting art on here but I am obsessed with this visual difference and need y'all to see it.
