This is gonna be the year that I challenge myself to tackle backgrounds once and for all. Characters and portraits will obviously always be my favorite, but I’m sick of only ever drawing them on a flat backdrop or abstract excuse of a background. It’s time I learn some spatial awareness so I can eventually make full blown illustrations! This right here was done from imagination, but I was already doing some reference studies today, focusing on values and shapes. My understanding of perspective was sufficient enough to not stress so much about that I’d say, but what seems the most difficult to me right off the bat is… -Adding Detail -Fitting characters in -Color I have a feeling I’ll be spending a good minute with just value studies… Anyways, here’s to a year of serious improvement, fundamentals, and getting out of my comfort zone! #2023 #artresolutions #backgroundart #storyboarding #sunset #myart #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGZBN7uUf_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
