Thank you both very much!
Sirius: Yeah, I tend to draw a lot of character designs in standard poses with no background, so I tend to try and spice it up sometimes just by breaking up the background color with splotches of different tones, but with little contrast. Or sometimes great contrast to the figure, if it helps it pop out even more. As for the markers, I used to be really careful with how I laid down markers, as to have it just right... and it came out boring and mediocre. So I've learned to play around, and really lay down my markers expressively, and luckily it matches up with with my sketchy inking style. It's a very nice coupling. Really, my advice is play around, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Loosen up, and enjoy!
Also, I did a couple sketches on the cintiq's in class today. Enjoy
