Artist's Comments

Second tutorial time! :boogie:
I made this one fairly quickly, so I hope it's understandable. The image quality is a little lower than last time, so hopefully it will load a little more quickly.
Anyways, backgrouds with premade brushes. Easy peasy. :) Enjoy!
And, as always, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me any time. :heart:

wow, so helpful! how do you do the background without messing up your foreground? as in, not smudging over the horses?

:faint: I guess it would have been a good idea to put that tidbit of info in there somewhere, lol. All of the background layers, except for the ones that say they should be "on top of everything" need to go below the layers with the horses drawn on them. The only layers that aren't below the horses are the ones with the hoof covering grass, the dandelions, and my signature. As long as you're working on the correct layer and as long as you use separate layers for different bit of the background, you can do anything you like without disturbing the horse image at all. :nod:

I hope that answered your question. :confused: If it didn't, just smack me upside the head with something and I'll try to explain it better.

:phew: Okay, good...I'm glad I wasn't completely impossible to understand. :XD: I definitely didn't know how any of that stuff worked when I first started doing digital. But there are like a billion super-simple to understand PS and GIMP tutorials on DA so I bet you won't be a newb for long! :D
