I want to create good shading on the background so I tried to use the gradient tool but I didnt know where it was, but after some searching I found out that if you go to the colour window and select gradient on the drop down menu you can then create the gradient.
I found out to use it I had to save it as a swatch by clicking here.
then I was able to apply it, but it didn't look right but to all I did was use the gradient tool to change the movement and position of the gradient.
I also put a shadow on the background by putting a line in the corners of the brown background and i than curved it and coloured it in a slightly darker brown, than you select the line and delete it, this gives it a nice blend. I personally liked that idea better than the gradient tool, one I believe it gives a better finish and two its quicker, the gradient tool is too long winded and takes up too much time.
After that I created the chairs using the brush tool but I had to make sure that the smoothing was turnt off because the consistency was the same in the lines.
I kept going over it, with different shades, as well as changing some colours to make it more effiecent to what is actually happening, and ended up creating this as my first background.
After creating that first background I knew I had to now create the chicken shop background, using the same techniques as mentioned above I came up with this.
The chicken menu on the side was an imported image, which one saved time but gave the resturant a realistic feel. I also decided to use a lot of the line tool for this one, it was better because I could create straight lines easier than by the brush tool.
Here's the finished background
