Eventually, I want to add more details, like a tall window, but this will do for now. I figured these pics would be a fun teaser. You'll get a much better look in some upcoming photo shoots I have planned.
A few work in progress pics from my first background. I wanted to make a sort of industrial space I could see using for a few different scenes. The floor is a piece of bead board, roughly sanded and stained, to get a really weathered, uneven color. The wall is made of insulation foam. I thought it would be a quick project, but it took me almost a full day to carve out all the bricks and by the end, my hand ached just from holding the knife. I painted it using a really watered down black to get into all the crevices, then a watery gray to get the mortar effect. Finally, I finished it with a sponge and 2 different reds.

I use a pizza cutter and a long metal ruler to put the long lines in. It's still boring to make all bricks but it cuts some time off the process.

Thanks so much! And the pizza cutter is such a great idea! I used a pocketknife and a long strip of molding (it was the only thing long & straight enough I had handy) and the pizza cutter sounds like a far better plan. Thinking of starting a second wall soon, and I'm definitely going to try that.
