How do I add visual interest to my comic book pages with backgrounds?

Backgrounds don't have to be complex. Simple shapes, textures, and color gradients can be very effective. Consider the mood and setting of your story when choosing background elements. Use perspective to create depth and realism. Experiment with different brushstrokes and textures to add visual interest. Don't overcrowd the background – leave negative space to allow the characters and action to stand out. Consider using different layers for the background to allow for flexibility.
