Background Terminology

3 posts in this topic

So, I've done a number of commissions over the years, and I've never known what to call this.

- A full background is obviously self explanatory - creating a setting behind the character

- A partial background, as I understand it might be placing somewhere for the character to stand (ground, some rocks, or whatever)

- What do you call the type of background which is sort of abstract, but just something to create some depth rather than just a white canvas behind the character - hatching, or a color bar, or some cloud-like or star field smudging etc.   Is there a commonly used name for this?
