Monthly Tutorial - How To Draw Backgrounds (Patreon)

Hello and welcome backkkk to a new monthly tutorial! Here is December's entry!

This tutorial was sponsored by kind supporters Luke Wolf and Myth! Thank you!

The topic for this month was how to draw backgrounds! A vast, vast topic that may possibly require more than one tutorial!

In this guide, I explain several ways to construct backgrounds, from perspective to framing, and how to use them to tell a story!

I hope this helps!
