Description
Alternate Title: ESDA's Techniques for Working in the Digital FieldSo many people have begged me to make a backgrounds tutorial that I finally gritted my teeth and made one. This doesn't involve even half of what I do to make a digital landscape, but it should teach you how to better use the tools you have and inspire you to mess around and play with Photoshop some more. I hope you'll create your own techniques for making backgrounds, mine's are not the best nor are they the only ones.
And if it sucks when you make it the first time, try a second time. Practice makes perfect.
Cheerio!

Next time you make new brushes, save them as a new brush set. Also, save the original image of the brush you created so that if the custom set gets deleted or altered in some unfixable way, you always have the original on hand to reupload.

That's awesome- I think the thing that will help more is the grass tut. It looks amazing and so green! Does it work with other colours, too?

Of course, it's just a matter of selecting, say, dark blue instead of dark green.
