A5 Background tools:
- RoomSketcher to mock up 3D interiors
- Organized folders of reference images for different environments/situations
- Paid graphic elements -- not required, but if you know you'll use a thing constantly in a range of situations, go for it!

A4 Ways to make your foreground characters stand out:

- Give them colors that contrast with the overall bg color
- Make the bg faded, tinted, or desaturated in comparison
- Keep the bg extra-simple
- Use overlaying textures to unify the bg

A3 With photo references, you have to use a perspective grid to add/change the background details, or else they'll really stick out as wrong.

With something less detailed/elaborate, you can get away with eyeballing it.

A2 Background process:
- look up tons of references before designing
- maybe create a 3D mockup of the environment
- make tiled patterns for any repeating textures
- save establishing shots in a separate file, to use as a reference later
