    Setting The Scene

I want you to get out of your chair right now and take a look around the room. See how the furniture is placed? Good. This is how you should set out your scenes, make it so people could actually move around and function in comfort if it were in real life. Think about how you would like to live in such a place, the cool stuff that you would want to have. Think about whether or not the chair should be near the door for good/bad Fung Shui (I have no idea how it works). All of this is extremely important in setting a good scene. For example, you don't want to draw a horror scene and then chuck in a few purple flowers for effect, or just because your feeling nice. Get into the mood, listen to some freaky music or something, anything to help you set the scene you want and to make the outcome as good as possible. Listening to music also helps your creative juices flow.
