Step one involves getting rid of the black outlines.

Program doesn't matter, PSP is fine. You could even use paint...

You could also try adding some detail to the surfaces instead of solid colors.

It takes time to make a good background.

Not really. It depends how skilled you are. Most BG artists take a few days to produce a good background, lighting and shading is a very big part of that.

Check out the stickied links at the top of the critics lounge, specifically here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=32133.0) and here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30939.0) for lots of tutorials on lots of different areas. There's lots of ways to go about shading, you could colour it one colour and lighten or darken it, you could just go with blocks of different colour, you could block it out into different colours then blur the edges... Its all about a lot of practice and finding your own style.
