Yeah i second the "make sure the colors ... if any" part personally. Just as a personally preference, I like grays or extremely desaturated colors in the BG. The background makes a complete piece but it's dictated by the purpose of the drawing. If you're making art that tells a story, then the background is probably part of it and helps to tell it. When the drawing's purpose is to not just show mods, but also how they effect the mood, appearance and/or theme of the vehicle - then the background plays a less significant role and as already said, can't be allowed to take away from that concept. It can play into the car neatly though. Some pretty cool artists put some kind of color into the background and then reflect it in the car's paint. That can make the "paint" more impressive on paper.
