Actually, your phone /Google/Facebook can read your minds now. First they were able to recommend content based on your conversations with friends/family. Now they can read your mind. Its true. Even in your Gmail, you'll see ads targeting you based on what you actually said during the day. Your phone is always listening. Even Amazon does it.

Look up images of real life backgrounds. That will help

[@TasukuClan]

"Treat the background like a character" That, I needed to hear that since I am such a noob when it comes to backgrounds, but truly enjoy character creation.

[@JohnVmc2]

I like drawing backgrounds more than i like drawing the characters on the background after i finish'em. It's irritating, i spend you're time detailing the place to create an atmosphere, and then you have to cover half of it with people... Sad, sad story. BTW, loved the black chick, she reminds me of a character in Static Shock.

[@faminisim3616]

I've never loved a group of kids as much as I love these kids. They're so diverse and amazingly designed. I wanna hug them!! Whyt Manga, you're amazing. You've been my inspiration since I was in 6th grade. It's so cool to see you come this far. I'm so happy for you. Thank you for all the videos you've uploaded. Love you!

[@shiawasekappukekiful]

It’s not that people hate drawing backgrounds, It’s because our whole lives up until then, we focus solely on characters and neglect environments We don’t hate drawing backgrounds, we hate that we *suck at them* And don’t know how to get as good immediately

[@jeddvillaspin3379]

If you master the basics of manga, background is cheesecake. The problem is they take too long to finish even the undetailed ones.

[@sebas8225]

backgrounds can also be useful for tactics during a fight.

[@tlalanwar1723]

Yes I suck at background but ever since I have watched your background video, I can make background art. (That looks presentable)

[@hanshe4474]

I LOVE your character designs! Their facial expressions as well as body language really portray each characters' different personality. As a fellow manga artist, your videos have really helped me try to improve my artwork. And the turtle is so cute!

[@caden-chase4950]

Are you reading my mind?

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Stick with backgrounds which can be easily painted, saves so much time instead of drawing background by hand. You can draw the things in the foreground

[@talimediaart]

My favorite backgrounds would be Konoha from Naruto, the Moon Kingdom from Sailor Moon, the Seireitei from Bleach and the Spirit World from Yu Yu Hakusho, to name a few. They hold a lot history within these series and the design is amazing. Which is why I picked these but there are more.

[@MrSonicfan100001]

I feel like opening a bottle of whiskey at the thought of drawing backgrounds........ but watching this video made me realize I got no choice but to improve.

[@dextergarner1286]

Been a bane of mine, just due to the my lack of skill in perspective. I kind of pull a Jack Kirby or Akira Toriyama and give a backdrop in one or two panels to establish the where and then go on with characters ...but much needed reminders here thanks

[@joakimmogren1727]

So basically Black Bottom Island's Guild For Young Sorcerers is your version of Hogwarts or Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters. I think Tite Kubo needs to watch this video.

[@abdlhmdx]

Backgrounds are the most underrated thing in drawing

[@SkullCloud11]

I hate drawing characters....but I need them is something that you don't hear very often

[@Revsoshi]

Yeah soul eaters dwma was my favorite mostly becuase the 3d was used to make it perfectly symmetrical which made more sense then to just 2d it.

[@migueljoshualunardz.8893]

My favorite background art would be the comic adaptations of the Transformers film series(hope i get to read them),Alita and My Hero Academia. Great video by the way 👍

[@curtisdrago]

Dude, your art is so attractive, honestly! I'm drawn to it. Your redhead reminded me of Bakugou Katsuki the second I saw him!

My mother walked in during one of the AoT clips. Never hit fast forward so fast. Would have had a hard time explaining that one.

[@LeTigre783]

Backgrounds suck to draw, BUT they just look so good when they’re done~ ugh! Backgrounds take so long though and then you have to cover up the hard work sometimes with the characters. Not to mention, when I try to draw characters in dynamic poses, drawing the background from certain angles gets really confusing.

[@GregoryFord98]

I know growing up you were a fan of Tite Kubo and his series Bleach. Bleach had amazing backgrounds when the Manga first started, but sometime after Aizens defeat Kubo started drawing much more bleak and bland backgrounds, this along with the decrease in overall content, lead to the fall of the series.

[@theanimelibarian7881]

Wish u would of said how your making it. And what your doing. Most of us know what a background is and why it’s needed. Thank you tho

The only reason that people don't draw backgrounds it's because they're lazy with perspective. Unorganic backgrounds are just cubes and pyramids

[@kaitourobin3206]

Maybe i don't have the right to give advice but here something i learned over the years. Practice and Studing is the answer. Just like calculus, literature, a sport, etc Art is a skill that you must learn by drawing everyday. But make sure to draw challenges yourself. Draw something you bad at somedays and other time draw what you absolutely love. Also make sure to study. draw from your imagination or copy from a reference or draw from real life sometimes. make sure to study seeing how you will represent a object. Than see hlw other people did it.You need to train to see the world as artist and not as a non artist. You might have to look that point up for it to make sense. you might like a math class go read a textbook about art and do homework/practice what it says. Like reading about composition or how to draw stairs than practice. Of course art can be abstract so you might not like that certain way the text told you to do. It okay to not added it to your skills set but just practicing it once can still help you learn. So summarize dont be afraid to try new things and keep drawing. If you don't feel like drawing go read a book about drawing or watch a youtube video. In end you must train your muscles and mind to draw. Keep learning and practicing.
