Course Overview
Draw and color amazing backgrounds for your comics, concept art, and more. Plus learn composition
Welcome to How to Draw and Paint Backgrounds. I'm excited you're taking this course because you're a creative artist that wants awesome looking backgrounds. You're the reason I created this course and because many of my students requested it.
Beginner and established artists requested it.
If you're a beginner, you will learn step-by-step to draw and paint awesome backgrounds.
Even if you are already proud of your backgrounds, you will learn to draw and paint them on a whole new level.
You can do this. I know how I used to feel, like I would never draw or paint good backgrounds, landscapes, interiors, etc, but once I learned a few key points, I started to draw good backgrounds.
Here are a few of those key points that you will learn in this course.
- Making perspective easy.
- Composition:
- Learning how to use the basics of Google Sketchup that will
give you a jump start in drawing and painting backgrounds. It's almost like cheating,
but great artists like the guy who draws for Dare Devil comics uses it. - How to use form in backgrounds.
So who is this guy, you might be thinking.
I am a top art instructor here at Udemy with over 10,000 students and a bestselling author on Amazon for “How to Draw Awesome Figures.”
So, hey, follow along with me by enrolling in the course and learn to draw and paint backgrounds like you never have before.

This is a fantastic course, verry well structured, Neil touches a lot of different topics, honestly all things you will nead and have to integrate into a workflow and that is what this course does so well, from art fundamentals like composition, color, value, the golden ration etc, not just in theory but put into practice (in a way that it makes sence, the why?)so that we can use all the information to come up with BGs for comics. I struggled and was intimidated by creating BGs for comics. This course has really helped me in disecting my problem up into different topics that are verry doable less scary. Thank you Neil, I ll by the book on figure drawing and maybe get your martial arts class to, I have been practicing this to for looong time, super cool thanks
