Reviews for "Learn to draw backgrounds"

very helpful

I think its a very helpful tutorial. Its hard for me to draw in 3D, but thanks to this tutorial I can draw better backgrounds. Thanks!

autowepon responds:

Thanks! also whys there himour 5?

Its OK

I like it. I really learnt from this. But the music wasn't too good. And you should have set it out a bit more... proffesionally. Otherwise its a nice tutorial with quite a nice theme to it.

autowepon responds:

set it out, what do you mean set it out? music its opinion if you like the music or not.

Good.

Well being how i am bad at doing backgrounds i am good with my eyes and copying down colors and shapes so this was very helpfull, i think i might use these for a madness tribute, they go well with the style

autowepon responds:

yeah they are kinda like madness. thanks.

It's the formula for shading a background.

It's a formula. Not really a technique. For backgrounds, you skipped MANY important steps. Horizon line. Perspective lines. Then layout. Focus. Flow. Staging. Placement of characters. All of those steps were skipped and bypassed straight to "here, lines" *thud*. But if the lines aren't even any good, then the background shouldn't go any further.

This is a formula for shading. Not for making a background. So it has some utility, but not the degree which it advertises.

autowepon responds:

meh, i guess your right

Nice.

It was a nice lesson, but it didn't teach me anything i don't already know. Upon reading other reviews, though, it did help someone so I'll give you credit for educational purposes. (I assume that was the goal in the 1st place.)

autowepon responds:

well i guess that was my goal. thanks
