Have been trying recently to come up with ways of including backgrounds in my character images. I've always struggled with this.
The image above is one of my background attempts... I think it works well but I don't think it would be suitable for the monster cook book.
Was searching through DeviantArt.com the other day and found some images that gave me a possible idea for backgrounds...
I really loved how the backgrounds are so simple and yet still work effectively to make the subject stand out from the white background.
I want to try something similar but with cake crumbs or spilt ingredients. I think this would look brilliant along side the monsters and the recipes. Will look like the monsters are creating utter chaos on the pages.
Something I love about cooking and baking is making a mess so I'm really excited about this idea! I would plan out the pages layout before and then create the spillage after so it fits where I want on the page.... would photograph the spillage and then Photoshop it behind the elements and text on my pages.
In the meantime I will experiment with producing random spillages that could be used to fill in blank areas of the pages :)
