Here’s a fun piece I did a few months ago exploring a bit of a different approach to backgrounds. Here I am creating background shapes with the lasso tool in Photoshop. Once I have the shapes created, I locked the pixels, which allows me to draw only within the shape. This is great for adding texture and color variations. I have not had much experience illustrating sports, so this was a fun opportunity. Enjoy.
