References and Drawing
As 2009 started (already a month ago...!), I decided to add new category to my blog. It's 'How to' category.
From now on, I add some tips and memos under this category for people like me, love drawing and want to improve.
Today, I'd like to share how I draw back grounds which I'm not very good at.
I think any back ground should be 'believable'. They don't have to be super photographical real, but it is always good to have some references.
Please have a look at this 1 page comic.

When I decided to draw this one, I though I couldn't draw the back grounds from my memory, so I went out to take some pictures.
