That depends on which port you are mapping for!

 

For vanilla DOOM/2 it can be as simple as ElfishMender894 suggests, by simply importing a new sky texture (256x128) using SLADE3, name it RSKY1 and converting it to a DOOM graphic. Why RSKY1? Because that is the name of the sky texture in DOOM2 And make sure that the image is tiles properly.

and the texture in your map just replaces the one from D2.

If you name the texture something else, 512 in this case (up to 8 letters), then edit the Texture1 lump, specify the size,

for example

The result with GZDoom

For an advanced port, such as G/ZDOOM, you have several options:

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Skybox

with an OpenGL skybox to most believable.

Check out http://www.custommapmakers.org/skyboxes.php where you can can find most of WADFATHER's skyboxes.

 

I don't know if Eternity or 3DGE have similar capabilities.
