Background Inspiration and Design

Today, I'm starting some work on the backgrounds. Here are some inspirational photos for me. This week, I'll be doing another batch of character sketches and maybe applying color. I may be thinking of going with an illustrator style and then using photoshop to texture it. Or maybe, a colored pencil look.

This is probably the closest background style that I am going for.

 

I love the simplicity of these two above.

I love the color schemes of this and the picture below.

I looked at some real circus rings to see how they look.

 

 

 

This picture above was kind of neat but, I don't think I'll be using that style. Maybe, I'll use the silhouette style for the end of my book when it is night time.
