Mmmm. I do think my skills with backgrounds are pure leftover from 5 years of Architecture (you should see the things I did back in the day. I'm completely out of practice!)
Usually, I sketch the background quickly, just to get a feel of the space, then I concentrate on the characters and draw them neatly. After that, I work on the actual background. You could always make a collage, though ;)
(I sent my second -and last- haiti piece this morning \o/ It came out supercute and I'm super proud of myself because drawing kisses is effing hard but I did it anyway omg! Do boy-kisses bring the rating up to R? It'd be my first over-PG if it does! *is overly excited*)
