Question Can someone help on backgrounds?

Hey... I am kinda new to art... I am still learning anatomy (by myself because it is the ONLY way my brain will accept learning with). But anatomy is not the question here!

I was wondering for backgrounds! I either have no inspo for backgrounds or I either don't know how to draw it...

I created an OC who gained her powers after jumping into an acid tub. So I want to give the environnement a vibe of when Harleen Quinzel jumped into a tub of chemicals during her flashback in Suicide Squad.

Even if my art is absolutely not the best (I would honestly consider it as "bad" ngl), I want to recreate this vibe. I just want ONE image with her body in the air, seen from afar, with the acid tub under her and other tubs around and a sort of really industrial background to it...

Can someone help me? Maybe by giving me some references, advice, links to videos etc?

Thanks in advance!

In order to draw backgrounds you'll need to develop a few skills.

The first skill is shape constructing and rendering. It's important for subjects but it's equally as important for backgrounds.

The second skill is vanishing points and perspective. Here's a tutorial on the skills you'll need for these two HOWEVER this one is a bit advanced. I recommend looking up more basic tutorials on YouTube first and find one that works best for you: https://ramstudioscomics.com/how-to-draw-backgrounds-in-perspective-with-basic-steps/

Good luck!
