I was wondering if anybody has any links to a guide or discussion, or anything that could help me with my backgrounds. I suck soooo much at adding a background to an image.

I was doodling a few days ago and I ended up putting too much effort in to a doodle, forcing me to actually finish it. Problem is I can't for the life of me come up with a background. And you know an image never really feels finished without one.

I tried looking stuff up, but after the hectic week I have had, I just lack the patience for a quality google search-a-thon.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Oh almost forgot, image is here.

What are you using to do the picture? It is digital?

I do everything in photo shop. It is saved there as a flat, but I have it in many layers elsewhere.

Fifth Element win.

Anyway... you can always keep it simple. Sometimes you only have to imply. Like.... you could do some buildings or something waaaaaay in the background by just using some real simple shapes at a low opacity. It would make her look like she's flying high over a city or somesuch.

Heh you caught the reference.

Yeah I was trying to do some really far off buildings, and I totally botched it. Its probably something I could do better on pencil and paper with the help of a ruler, but using my tablet, I fail so hard at straight lines.
I guess I will try my hand and finding tutorials again later, when I am not so dizzy, but every time I searched I always just came up with wallpapers for pc's D:

Use the line tool in Photoshop and hold down the shift key. Makes a straight line for you.
