Oh this is cool. Many of the backgrounds in Sonny Boy were painted by hand. Very unusual for an anime from 2021. The director (Shingo Natsume) said he wanted a certain nuance in the colors you don't get digitally.
The color choices themselves are also really interesting. The art director (Mari Fujino) said she deliberately chose inverse colors to create a sense of anxiety. Check out the tension between the floor and the chalkboard here:
There's a lot of interesting qualities to the art direction (and general direction) of Sonny Boy. It's been fun revisiting it and diving in to some behind the scenes stuff.
