Description

Different Area Location Practice. I said I would do more colored backgrounds, here it is. The panels are not connected in any way. I used reference for the locations, I don't have links for all of them. The characters are added. Except for the girl in the last panel, she was in the reference.

Panel 1: Winter.
I made a winter scene because the comic is gonna take place during winter at some point. (The story starts later summer and ends mid winter)
The thing I've always struggled with regarding backgrounds, is having them fit with the characters. I try to draw the backgrounds in the same way I do with the characters. I lineart, add base colors and then add shadows or other details.

Panel 2: Hallway. Reference
This is actually the last panel I drew. I don't think it looks bad, but here the background is drawn in a different way than the characters. The characters sticks out and that is not the look I want. I should have spend more time with the lineart and made the colors cleaner. Right now it like a painting and it looks messy. That been said, this is the panel I spend the least time with.
Also, Ben have a new jacket.

Panel 3: Mountain
This one took the most time, but I it's the one I like best. The girl fits with the scenery more than panel 2, and drawing is cleaner in general
Backgrounds without structures are much easier to draw, except for grass maybe. I hate drawing grass.

Everything is done with Photoshop. I feel I'm much better at backgrounds now, I can always get better ofcourse. But now it's time to shift focus, action scenes are up next!
Please tell me what you think, which panel did you like best? I'm always open for feedback.
