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!

I love your tutorial, even though I see now it was meant more for tablet users O.o..but I used it anyway and it gave me helpful tips on how to use brushes to give highlights and shadows to the ground. And how not to use crappy PS grass brushes, now I think my works will come out much better using my own brushes. If you wish to see it, here is the picture I used the tutorial in. Hope you like it ^^ at least a little bit.

I want to get Photoshop soon, so which version would be good for this type of thing?

the only version they're selling right now is CS3, which you can get at an educational discount for relatively cheaply. check out adobe.com

I can't do the brush that you have for the clouds. >_<

Try lowering your brush's opacity manually then. If you don't have a tablet, it won't work. This tutorial is designed with tablet users in mind.
