Backgrounds

Been doodling a few backgrounds of late, though I kind of think mine looks more like color test layouts or something rather than backgrounds.

 The two top ones are color tests for something I'm doing based on the Ranger Rick storyboards I had to do for storyboard class. I did the blue doodle first to get some idea where the characters would be so that I didn't do it too badly wrong with the placement.

 A picture I have tried to draw before, but never got quite happy with what I did the background in the previous version. I couldn't find the original picture to dig up, so I used the previous drawing as reference. Next time I'll be using the picture, because I do suspect I got a lot of things wrong, but still it was fun.

This last one is a background I have in mind for something I might use later, so it's more of a layout than anything else, testing the colors. I did the first digital one, but then I tried the same thing with watercolors in class, and I kind of liked that a lot better. I find the digital one to be kind of flat, and although the colors are correct to the environment it just doesn't really convey the feeling I want for it.

I liked the purple from the watercolor much better, though on the first one I went ahead and ruined it by adding yellow (at least I don't really like that part), though the water on the ground ended up just the way I wanted it.  So I did a second attempt, but did a more drippy water thingy on the wall, I do like that a lot. Will probably keep that look for it. It's more interesting to look at, and was actually a lot more fun to do than the digital one  :3
