This is part two in a five part series where I walk through the process of how I create a forest background for my digital paintings. In episode two, we cover how to fill in the depth of your forest by adding texture using a canopy creating Photoshop brush, creating a depth of field using Gaussian Blur, and using Blend Modes to quickly add light and shadow to flat objects.
Part One
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:

random question, does your computer lag at all when you work with 300 dpi?

It doesn't unless the canvas size is enormous. I think the size I'm working now (16x24 inches) doesn't lag me too bad

Ah okay, I think it's when I start using a larger brush is when it really starts to slow down

Man, being in that livestream with you was so much fun! I hope I catch you the next time you're hosting one!
And, as usual, your art is breath-takingly wonderful. I love seeing your art pop up in my inbox.
