Description
**Might take a moment to load...**Part Two has arrived! There's one more after this, which I'll hopefully get together soon.
This is just about backgrounds. I really should've picked a different picture to do a background walkthrough, since I do grassy scenes more often than deserty ones, but what can ya do! Hopefully this is somewhat helpful anyway.
Let me know if you have any questions or if something is unclear! And please forgive spelling errors if there are any.
Oh, and this is still done with Corel Painter 8 and a wacom tablet.

Thanks muchly again for this tutorial. I'm having problems with grass - I don't want to use the photoshop brush, but I was wondering how you do your wonderful plains of grass? If there's no time to do a detail explaination on it, don't worry, but do you have any tips? Thanks!

Well I'll hopefully be making a grass walkthrough at some point, but I think the way to make lush-looking grass is to smudge around lots of different shades and then pick out little bits to throw some details at. Cuz when you do detailed grass all over, it looks wiry and hard.
I have no idea if that's helpful. :3

Painter X prolly has fewer bugs, but if Painter 8's all you can find, it's a good program.

Background = EVIL! I have no doubt about that, but well at least you helped me a little in my fight against backgrounds Why can't they be as easy as sketching, my sketches come naturally, but when I do backgrounds I have to start over like 5 times because they don't wanna look as I want them to!

I like the deserty backgrounds...Symphony would look good in one, since he has lived in one, but I don't like background very much...
Helps out a lot...gracias!

Backgrounds aren't my friend either. They make everything take twice as long.

OOh, very helpful ^^ Also, a way to get lighter / darker colours, like for the sky, is to use the gradient tool =3
