With the title backgrounding the foreground, I actually meant to make the complete space around the focused main charcter blur. This would be in effect in a satisfactory way only when we show both the background and the foreground space on alternate sides of the main character and keep those like a blurry unfocused manner, which I tried here.

Now watch my work🌺





also included some pictures of the drawing process so you guys will have a good view of how I made it



Step 1
Used a normal black ball point pen to sketch the full scene. But this time I only concentrated on the main character, not allowing me to strike the pen along other spaces in the scene


Step 2
Painted the background. Then went for the character part. Made the background region a moderately focussed like look with minimal colours.


Final step
Painted out the foreground part with good saturation, but kept the edges of the scene unfinished. Applied a water layer over the edges to get a blurry look.




The painting was inspired from...
