I decided to do a tutorial of my quick digital coloring method for some friends. Skies, clouds, and backgrounds are much easier to paint than most people think. so, if you're new to background painting, not sure where to start, or looking for a very fast way to color, I hope this will help.
Part two will cover finishing the background colors.
This tutorial covers techniques that can be used with either a mouse or tablet.
I used PhotoShop CS2 for this, but it will work for later versions of PhotoShop, and should work for Paint Shop Pro and the GIMP.
