An Introduction to BACKGROUND ART for TV Animation

Hi! This is my guide to breaking into the Animation Industry as a Background Artist. In this 35 page guide you'll receive advice on portfolio, interview/testing and industry* protocols, as well as tips on speeding up your worklow in Photoshop.

This guide is aimed at students, beginners or anyone with a curiousity about how a Background Department runs. I wanted to keep the price low so it would be affordable to those who might not have a lot of money, but any profit I make will be put towards a new computer so if you can afford it, please consider tipping a little extra 💗

Thank you and I hope you find the guide useful!

*The industry portion is specifically centred around European & UK workflows but I believe it contains some universal advice that can be applied to any studio.
