I decided to attempt a background study as its always been a weak point for me. The first image is my attempt on my own, without instruction/knowledge in painting backgrounds. The second image is after watching a video and it turning out the way the first was perceived 😂

I love seeing my before and afters. For some odd reason I attempt to do something completely on my own first. That way when I do educate/inform myself I’m always surprised by just how much better things are. Without my first attempt, the second instructed one wouldn’t have been so easy to follow or do so I will always appreciate my odd need for self inflicted struggle and stress.

I’ve already another one started and am super excited to throw some Pokémon into these. Stay tuned for more nicer (hopefully) backgrounds! 😁
