reindeer final WIP (Patreon)

About here is where I start working on the back drop, I take the backdrop from the refrence to get an idea for space and stuff than add my own shading and shadowing to make things fit. the background needs just as much atention as the subject. backgrounds are personally a pain in the butt espechialy when you want them to look real. Around this point I really start to add some very fine details such as dark spots, contact shadows, and highlights not yet seen here.
