Coloring Background 1
A quick coloring in of the pool and a line of trees. Pool is made of 4 colors smoothed out. The trees are 4 or 5 layers, a low saturated blue for the back, tree trunks, dark green for foreground shading, and light green for foreground. Yellow for shine.
Pool Details Color Background 2
Added layers of grass, similarly to how I drew the trees, added some details in the pool and mild ripples (using overlays). I also added a gradient sky,
Foreground Coloring
I colored in the main character, and objects he interacts with. I also changed the sky to a more overcast/stormy feel. A simple and easy color of the building in the back.
Alterations, More Details
I changed the sky back, drew new clouds. (added their reflection in the pool as well)
I altered the intensity of the lights and shadows on the main character.
Alterations 2
I added more tones of color to the shorts, and adjusted his bum as it didn't feel natural. I added more ripple reflection in the pool as well.
Your process for the background is deceptively simple! I like that you can see the green of the trees reflecting in the building windows.
I'm amazed at how easily you knocked out the background :o I love the whole composition, and those bright colors <3
