my inspiration of my colouring background and character

Based on what i ask some of my friends about waht kind of style i should draw to my stroyboard, they said the top one so i start to make like that. Actually, i was inspired by cartoon network in making the picture like the top, they emphasize with shadow and the shadow can be seen clearly, i think it is more related to do if i do my storyboard style... So i try to develop my storyboard with this style. Seems more cartoon.

Here is some of my inspiration in colouring my storyboard. For my character, i choose manga style. I plan to make the concept art like the bottom one. But still ongoing...

for the background, my inspiration also come from CARTOON NETWORK. here is some example of cartoon network artwork.

This is the progress of my 1st scene.... still ongoing with the background...
