Working with a background color even in the preliminary sketch phase can really help get the tone you want for your illustration. I love softer, warm colors to start but it depends where you want to go. Deep blues or even grays are great for moodier scenes while a nice ochre is great for the beginnings of an outdoorsy scene.
Also play with filters to add texture. A soft “noise” filter for the background is great for getting a traditional paper grain look. It can help pop your focal point of your art, as well!
Try it next time you’re brainstorming while sketching!

Ah, tips/tutorials was an unexpected bonus of joining your patreon! (I’m venturing into digital art after years of being interested but too intimidated by the medium, and I feel a bit lost when it comes to approaching colors/digital painting). I love your work, and I would love to see any more tips you’d care to share! ❤️
