I really pushed for a good background in these pages, while still keeping the color palette unified. For the cars, I pulled from a bunch of photo reference.

Using photo reference isn’t cheating, contrary to popular belief. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. If you want to get accurate backgrounds and props, referencing the real thing is the best thing you can do for yourself. In this case, I had to pull from several photos to get the look I wanted for the junkyard and magnetic crane. And that’s the tip of the day from yours truly. XDD
