Very nice.
A funny thing for people who want to make their own clouds:
If you look at the very top one of the Earth's clouds, you can vaguely make out the Continents (well, except Antarctica, which is all white for some reason). They're the blackest areas, most devoid of clouds.

That's because there's less water to evaporate and condense into clouds over land. Also, the shape of the land affects airflow, which in turn affects clouds.

Most of the time, this is true. The rest of the time, you can blame the damn Gulf of Mexico or the Carribean. Damn hurricanes. xD

Great tutorials! I haven't tried much space art, and have always wondered how on earth people put planets together that looked like they have real terrain and clouds and such. It's really helpful to see the basics.
