May 2025 Drawing Challenge- Backgrounds
🕑 Added 2025-05-15 04:38:43 +0000 UTCFor this month's drawing challenge, we're going to be doing what's probably an actual challenge for a lot of us- backgrounds!
I have a feeling this won't be a popular one... xD
Backgrounds are a common struggle for many artists, so it's important to practice them! My best tip for backgrounds is to work in broad strokes- don't get obsessed with the details. Instead try to see how you can convey the setting with vague painted expressions. Use a large brush and try painting a background without outlines. Or- try setting a scene with lighting and atmospheric effects.
Apologies this is coming in late this month, so we will extend the deadline to June 15th for submissions.
Please share images of your work showing backgrounds in the Braytreon Discord and we'll review what we've learned together!
