Backgrounds or No Backgrounds... That is the Question...!
12 years ago
How's it going fellas? I hope you guys are doing awesome with a cherry on top!
I was wondering if you guys would help this little ol' Bigfoot with a question... Should I take the time to do some background image to accompany my drawings, or do you like to see the character/drawing with an empty background?
This has been killing me for a while since both have their uses and both are good depending on what is drawn.
My latest submission has been a bit of a miss since I decided to go the extra mile to add some background detail... But later I was reminded that I am not so well on that department... Still I figured that it would look so empty with what I was trying to convey on the picture... So I manage to not miss one, but 2 shots at this...!
I want to add a simple colored background, but I feel that is waaay too lazy... So I ask you this, dear viewers...
Background effort, or no backgrounds at all?
Hope to hear your guy's input on this! ^__^

I think its worth a shot to try out. I'm not really good with backgrounds myself, so one way to help in this department is to make pictures that rely on the use of backgrounds to convey a message or scenario. Backgrounds bring in emotion and make drawings feel more alive. It also helps with lighting since the picture you're gonna make with a background will need a light source. It's definitely a challenge worth trying for, I say give it a shot :)

Big question.... one bothering time after time too, but looking at yours, you do a good job. SURE, this isn't to say you need to have every picture feature a background, but if you ever feel like it, it's nice. It doesn't even need to be really detailed to work, really!

For me, it usually depends on the picture. I am not good with backgrounds, so I usually have very plain ones. However, if the image needs a background to feel complete, then I'll try to do something. Again, it is up to you as to whether or not you feel the background is necessary.
