Activity 6: Creating a Background
T-EXC-002-012
This is the very last thing you need to draw for this project. You have created backgrounds before, so you should have no problem doing this one. Remember, you have to draw something related to the panther. The panther will be crossing the scene, so give it enough space of it to walk in the middle. Use the Brush tool to draw the line art, then the Paint tool to add colour.
