Being consistent

As discussed in earlier chapters, when planning and designing your characters, having a consistent design is essential in order to create a visually pleasing production. Unsurprisingly, the same goes for scenery. As you start with the initial stages of your production, you will want to make sure your backgrounds compliment the main attraction, which will more than likely be your characters. There is really no direct route to achieve this. You can browse the mass catalog of online animations and discover everything from painted scenery to more minimalistic backgrounds. The key is that once you discover your look, you strive to maintain it throughout your work.
