Having Fun with Backgrounds

May 11, 2025 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT
A graphic announcing "Having Fun with Backgrounds" for the Nib and Ink Fest 2025 on May 11th, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST on Zoom featuring panelist Kel McDonald and Blue Delliquanti. The panel description reads, "A lot of artists dislike drawing backgrounds. Partly because they are a lot of work but also because the characters and the story are the FUN part of making a comic. This panel is to go over how to approach backgrounds in a way that treat them as extensions of the characters and characters unto themselves. " An anthropomorphic inkwell and an anthropomorphic both holding comic pages decorate the graphic.
