This is an exceptional breakdown on how to approach illustrations depicting a scene. Characters and backgrounds should not be considered seperately when you are painting an image of a character interacting within a setting. They are a single visual entity; a narrative. Likewise, a painting doesn’t need to include a detailed environment to be successful. It depends on your goal for what you wish to communicate.

I really like this post..! It’s very succinct about something I have tried to explain myself and have not been very good at explaining. What an excellent resource!
