How do your favorite artists create background for their art? I tried to explore this, by creating background using 7 methods, including filters in Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, free apps like FotoSketcher, and 3D tools like Blender. All methods are designed to save time so you can focus on other aspects of your artwork, without the need for drawing backgrounds!
