Creating Backgrounds and layouts

These are notes I swapped with another note taker at life the universe and everything. That way, we get notes from other panels we may not have attended. The panelist were Brian C. Hales, Cara Straton, Bobbie Brendenson W.

  • Try to think cinematically while writing your novel. Imagine the lighting in your work. Things in shadows can have an ominous look or feel.
  • Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of predain.
  • Color can tell us the more subtle details of our settings. For example, the elves of Rivendell can be a bright green and gold, whereas the elves of Lothlorien can be a darker green and silver. It gives a sense o Rivendell being more open and welcoming and the Lothlorien elves being more reclusive and mystical.
  • Use the background to say something about the character
  • Draw it with me a YouTube channel with Brian C Hailes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp6dJf1waGo
