Description Soooo a background tutorial was the most voted suggestion on the poll I held, so here it is. Sorry that the text is a bit blurry and messy, paint tool SAI can`t handle file sizes bigger than this. (I should probably do a part two just about filters and perspective and stuff like that ehhh) 
There are a lot of great painting tutorials out there (probably better than this one) but this is the way I draw backgrounds. I hope that this helps somebody at least a little ~ 

If you have anything to ask I`d be glad to answer. :>

Wow, this tutorial is really cool >_<

I've got some curiosity now. When you're painting, do you usually do it all on one layer? I've been slowly using less layers because I'm finding when I don't, colors somehow like to blend with the emptiness and it looks all faded.

Thank you !
Yeah, I've noticed that it's possible to get more color variation when painting on one layer. I usually draw the sky on a separate layer though, because it's easier to work with that way.

Oh, hey- what do you do for clouds? Do you just kinda use the grass/leaf technique?

That, or just an airbrush with a low opacity. C:

This is very helpful, especially the idea of using several different colour combinations before choosing one! Also, your handwriting is SO neat, I'm seriously impressed lol.
