This is part three in a five part series where I walk through the process of how I create a forest background for my digital paintings.  In episode three, we cover how to fill in the middle ground forest elements using textured Photoshop brushes, how to create a focal point in the composition, and how to create rough textures to paint distant grass.

Part One

Part Two


Since DA has a limit on upload size, I had to reduce the resolution quite a bit.  The original canvas size was 16x24 at 300 DPI (7200x4800 px).

I'm using Photoshop CC in this tutorial but the brushes and most of the tools I use can be used in many other versions and even other drawing programs.  The tablet I'm using in this video is a Wacom Cintiq 24 HD.

Brushes that were used in this piece:
