   * **Foreground**: You will almost always describe what is in the foreground, but you do not always need to state it. A good example is when you have a panel that is a close-up of a character’s face - describing it as a close-up delivers sufficient information for the reader to accurately imagine the panel. (Note: there might be things in the midground or background, behind them, that you may need to clarify further.)   * **Foreground**: You will almost always describe what is in the foreground, but you do not always need to state it.

To cut down on repetitiveness, you can also sometimes say things like “in the (far) distance…” to describe the background, instead of always saying “in the background.”
