Description
Ok so i get asked a lot about how i render my backgrounds plus i've been asked to post wips from the start of a drawing right through to its completion. Elegant Beauty 2 was my choice for this because it covers many of the most asked about things ... Backgrounds, hair and soft blending. Here is part 1 which explains how i draw those backgrounds, i thought i would have a little fun putting it together too. Hopefully my spelling isn't too badΒ ΒRelated content

Cheers Paul, it's mainly a beginner thing to be honest but yes it's always nice to get a peak inside the head ... plus i probably spend more time looking and deciding than actually physically mark making during a session so making a vid or streaming is a waste of time for me, this is the next best thing and it's fun
