Hahahaha yeah, I'd like to pet them too
I also spend a lot of time thinking about the background, sometimes I just start mixing colors and end up making something I like, always the background is the worst, I'm not as detailed as I would like for backgrounds and that sometimes frustrates me for example, for this drawing I tried 3 different backgrounds, trying to find something that looked good, in the end I went for something dark a kind of bright sky, it's a very complicated process that delays me too much the work 😂
