Description
So I thought I'd make a liiiiiittle something to offer some tips on background composition. Please note that my example at the bottom is very brief and rough and I usually use SAI mostly for the base colours of my backgrounds and Photoshop for the details, but this was done purely in Photoshop because I'm lazy. So... that's why it looks less than stellar xDI mostly wanted to illustrate how background are composed and how to create depth in your backgrounds. DEPTH.
Watch the final image to see it change and see some of my process towards creating a background. After this stage, I normally spend a LOT of time scribbling in my details and adding more stuff and using brushes to create a great atmosphere.
