Finally backgrounds are getting the attention they deserve. Its such an underrated topic unfortunately. Backgrounds are just as important as the character(s) drawn on them.

i don't really like drawing people but I love drawing backgrounds, when I used to watch gravity falls I used to screenshot EVERY scene when there's no characters and just the background. I still have the collection on my old tablet,I really love backgrounds, especially the artstyle in gravity falls xd

I actually kept finding myself in the dilemma that drawing characters without backgrounds just doesn't ever feel interesting enough, but by wanting to draw backgrounds for everything not many projects get done. They just do so much for storytelling, it feels like wasted potential not to have them nearly every time.

Omg thank you so much for this. I may find backgrounds a lot of work too, but it definitely a great, especially when it comes to storytelling. Not to just replace the blank canvas behind the characters we draw, but to show a story within a story. Give the audience some snippets like clues that could help them put together a story that creators are telling. Backgrounds rock just like character designs and everything else within the making of animations.

“An environment is a character.” This is exactly what my professors taught us in school! And also it’s good to remember, just as you pointed out, the environment is a character who compliments the main character (if the environment isn’t the main character itself)

I *just* began realizing the amount of story a background can tell about a character. I come from a simple pencil sketch childhood. No color. I was actually afraid to try to add colors to my artwork. I wasn't familiar with how they worked (water color vs. Marker vs. Acrylic, etc.). But I began using color and now... I'm OBSESSED with learning how to fo backgrounds! I'm not sure how color unlocked it, but.... yeah.

Idk if I am outing myself as just being a big dummy. XD But 3:53 _"Objects that are rotated have their own vanishing point."_ One little phrase next to the visual example helped make this thing that frustrated and scared me away from backgrounds for so long just instantly click and make sense. Also the concept of tangents is probably why objects and character looks so wonky and muddled in my backgrounds. I think these might be very basic things to know probably. But you never know what you don't know, ya know? So I appreciate this so much, these are game changing information for me.

this made me respect backgrounds even more, i kinda always knew that theyre not just something rushed for characters to run around in, but rather an environment that tells a story within it. so i like that you treat it as a character, it gives me a whole other *perspective* to it (and maybe can help me draw interesting backgrounds idk) *TL;DR: perspective is hard* :') but what i think why artists tend to avoid backgrounds (like me) is because it can feel intimidating, i can imagine a cool background with a mood and story for a character to live in, but i immediately get frustrated and overwhelmed because there are so many elements that makes a background good with so many objects that has to be in perspective or they will feel out of place (which we obviously dont want).. which is what this video stated at a point, instead of thinking about it as complex buildings or whatever you can think of simple shapes, just like characters. characters and figures seem to be the thing to start with for any beginner and eventually they stick to it and it becomes a comfort zone, maybe cuz drawing characters feel more impressive like "omg it just looks like mickey mouse", or maybe because characters are the focus in most media and artists wanna draw their favorite people, i rarely see someone being like "i started drawing because i liked the backgrounds of looney toons" or something. while anatomy can be an analogy for the elements and objects working together in a background... but.. is anatomy really what you think about when you see spongebob the question "why most artists only draw/start with drawing characters" interests me and i doubt i even scratched the surface uh maybe cuz characters feel simpler to draw, more appealing? cooler? ..or maybe theyre just hot idk

This is amazing, I have always struggled with creating background environments for my characters. I gone so far as to learn 3D just so I didn't have to. But watching this video really reframes my thinking on how to go about it (Trearting it as it's own character, which is silently telling the audience more about the characters who inhabit it). I will definitely be taking your advise of starting with my own environment and go from there.

one of my favourite artists is Simon S. Andersen (the creator of owlboy) and i was mostly drawn to his works BECAUSE of his backgrounds! like, the detail in some of his stuff is downright inhuman! especially the art for edm artist 'savant' and his album 'Zion' i've always wanted to try and get properly into backgrounds, but never got around to it, but it truly is one of the most breath-taking artforms, and with it, you can hide so many details anywhere!

All of the other programs that teach background painting, you have to sign up for an entire four year program at art center of Pasadena. This is why so few people are actually painting backgrounds. There’s just not enough courses That teach this in great detail.

You have to know the rules before you can break em, and I still have a lot to learn about backgrounds! Thank you Brent and Max for such a cool and informative video!

@@marcypotato6435 Yeah! So when I first started designing rooms for my characters, I drew them out on paper from a top-down perspective (like you would see for room layouts for apartments), but I had a lot of trouble figuring out the heights of those objects, so I rebuilt the rooms in Sims 4 (at that point I just created the entire house lol) and then I was able to have a better understanding of the dimensions of objects in the room! I also added things like posters, a sound system, clothes and toys, etc., to really make it look lived in. I could probably make a video about it tbh 😅

I've watched lots of BG tips but you guys made it much easier to understand to a person like me who struggle a lot when it comes to BG designs. It really is hard for me to include BG and understand the values to everything when you're a character design artist. It's just a lot to take in. So, I'm just glad that I found this channel. Thanks guys. I wish you more subcribers and stuff. 😁👍

I must say, I enjoyed backgrounds more in animation as a child and more so even to this day. and my love for Art developed from there.
