I was going to submit new artwork today. As I have been doing for the past couple of artworks, I have been adding in background colouring using Photoshop. But for this specific picture, I want a gradient background. Thing is, every single time I try to put in the gradient, it always goes over the picture I drew. What I want is the gradient as the background, to be behind the character. But nope, it's not that simple. Photoshop likes to drive me up the wall and it has to make everything hard for me.

May somebody please tell me how to put a gradient background behind what I drew?

I also wanted to add in "stars" (which I found under "Blur"), but when I tried, the stars didn't appear.

Computer programs confuse me.

thanks for taking a look at my Master Chief Vs. Jango Fett. By the way, FFVI (IIIUS) smokes VII. I think your the first female gamer that ive made an acquaintance that sees that. Xenogears is pretty awesome too. I like your Fashon designs. Are you a game fashion designer? Stay Lost.
