happy new year!! In the spirit of resolutions, I did up some stuff on starting out/improving with backgrounds!
Nothing in this is cut & dry or set in stone, it's more just a bunch of tips & ideas I've picked up over the years that might help get the ball rolling.
Good luck!! 🙏
To start off, a quick intro on just getting into the mindset as a starting point, and some notes about references and their value!
And some stuff on composition and set dressing (which was most highly requested??), and some more overviewish points on color and palette building!
Last part is some tips on rendering, lining, as well as some resources for further study to keep you going! (see next tweet for all those links)

Thanks to everyone who showed interest in my making these!! I ended up elaborating a lot more than I planned, but I hope they're able to empower someone to get more into background art :^)
