Hello everyone! π
Here is a new tutorial for you! In this video Iβll be covering some easy techniques for creating several types of backgrounds behind your characters :) Iβve been having to paint backgrounds more often for commercial work, so in this tutorial youβll get to see how I create them quickly and efficiently! π₯°
First weβll cover my top favorite background techniques, and then at the end of the video weβll apply those techniques to my Phantom of the Opera drawing and create three different background options π₯π€
