️Scroll down for TL;DR
Any feedback in any regard is appreciated, but what I’d really like to ask you people about is the backgrounds. This is something I always struggle with. First of all - and I guess the trained eye can spot this is the case here as well - it’s always somewhat of an afterthought for me. Ok, this I can solve by myself by not “afterthinking” it and incorporating it into the design, but then I always have a hard time prioritizing what should and what shouldn’t be detailed, avoiding making it stand out too much and competing with the main subject, overdetailing and crowding the image - as in the wolf image - vs making it too simple and boring - as I feel this is the case for the bus image - and so on.
I’m aware that the perspective on the bus image is off, some parts aren’t aligned and all that, but I did this primarily as a way to learn to work with the brush for inking, so I didn’t care much for the other stuff. In the wolf - and comments on this could help me as well - I tried using gray liners to push the background further back against the foreground in black ink and I think the experience wasn’t all that successful either.
TL;DR is can anyone please critique and offer advice with regards to the backgrounds in my images?
