The Shrew's Tips on Backgrounds

There's now a part two! You can find it here

I've had a number of people ask for a background tutorial now, so I decided to make this. It's not exactly a tutorial, I don't think, more something to help you out with breaking the process into steps. Although I only made a landscape here, you can use these exact same steps for making a background

You can see the finished background here.

If you have any questions or tips of your own (whether it's on background or how to make a better tutorial ) don't hesitate to leave them below in the comments!

Any tutorials you guys want to see in the future? How to draw trees?
