But dat cost monneh!

Backgrounds are not hard to make if you care to take your time with it. You can make an ok background with pure lineart and colors. You don't need other fancy photoshop effects than the blur tool to make it look distant. I'm just too lazy to take my time making it look decent enough.

you and i share the same lack of comitment. lol

I'm gonna do more practice on backgrounds eventually, but I have been working on this drawing for a few days now. And I wanted to test how a sketchy background would look. It's certainly better than no background.

haha, this drawing made my day! its kinda cute, i think it's the expressions that did it for me.

also, i think it might be just me but when i read comics i dont always look at the backgrounds... it does help give the panel a setting etc, so some background is good, im just saying it doesn't have to be complicated/carefully (not lazily) drawn.

Thanks. I'm not really happy with Jarel's expression (guy in the middle) He looks like he's like "Myeh..."

And about the background. When I read comics I rarely notice the background too much. But since I draw, and need to make backgrounds on some occasions, I need to watch them a lot to try and learn how they're made.

Thanks for the feedback

hahha, he looks like he is going "wtf?"

welcome!

A year-and-a-half ago I was also hopeless in computer programs.

Pen and paper + scanner = not so good quality

Pen and paper + scanner + photoshop = better quality (even better after you get some practice with it)

Tablet + photoshop = MOTIVATION!
You've just used a lot of money, and you feel obliged to make the best of it. Add that up with creativity, and you get awesome stuffs eventually.

That's how it was with me... Or I like to think I'm heading there as I hardly can call my art awesome yet.


At first I hesitated on buying a tablet because of the price, but trust me when I say that it's worth it. BIG time!
But though, I recommend you draw in Photoshop, so you should have a little skill in that. At least you should know how the pen and the layers work. Standard beginner stuff, you learn the rest out of experimenting.

On a final note: Don't listen entirely to me. Do some research on your own first if you decide to buy it.
