Basket-of-references - Not A Bot

Holt shit your art is amazing, whered you learn to do backgrounds? Any tips?

Thanks! I just love how Kaye_bin and Vasili Zorin draw backgrounds. Wish one day I'll do something like them and will understand colors as they do. In almost all artworks recently posted, I just tried to draw as many details as I can in a sketch or line work stages. Then prayed to all Gods it will work in a color stage and used a lot adjustment layers :D Right now I am trying to change this workflow and do a little color sketch before start to work with lines. I think all next artwork will be done this way, I'll try to save some steps or timelapse. These are some quick studies I did from games, artists, photos, just to make myself used to draw color sketch first.

Then I tried to use this pipeline on some fast doodles, like this one:

And right now I wanna try to draw something bigger and detailed with this method. Will see how it goes :3

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)
