Description An experiment with cloud effects on my tablet. This was a rather quickly done piece I did over a few hours. It came out of sheer boredom and wanting to explore more of my tablet's abilities. I can honestly say I don't miss working with my mouse at ALL! I will be updating this one later as I have some ideas for it.

I love the watercolor style. Animators should try it more often, the results are amazing. I mean look at Fantasia 2000, The Carnival of the Animals was just awesome.

I'm afraid I am still learning about drawing clouds..in fact I need an excuse to do more of this. But mayhaps in the future I will have a tutorial. I believe I have a link to a decent cloud painting tutorial somewhere. If I find it I will get it to you !

I love the subtlty! So beautiful. Out of curiosity, how did you do the sunbeams? I've been trying to achieve that effect in Photoshop for ages, but with no luck. It's hard to find any tutorials on directional light, too.

balaa In reply to Namingway [2005-01-17 21:31:51 +0000 UTC]

I dont recall exactly how I did them..I think I duplicated the cloud layer, moved it underneath the original cloud layer and then I used the motion blur tool to add the sunbeams and kinda messed around with the color, brightness, contrast, hue to get it just the way I wanted to . I know that isnt much to go on but I hope that helps!

"Quickly done"? Wow, that shows some raw talent right there! ^_^ You've done another excellent image Balaa, and once more, the tranquilities of the pride lands just make themselves known once more with the right use of colours.

Awesome, really.

OK, if this is your second try with a tablet I'm dead meat This is just completely awesome! I can't find words for it...
*stuffs own tablet-made pictures behind back* Nothing to see XD
Anyways, back to your picture...:
I'm just in love with your colour choices. They blend in to each others extremly well, and creates a really nice picture. The way you drew the clouds are stunning! At first I thought this was a real photo, and...
...maybe I shuld stop before I make a fool out of mjyself XD

I've always admired how you incorporate so many colors in one piece, and you've certainly out done yourself here. The overall effect of the piece is flabbergasting and absolutely stunning. I especially love how you didn't shade with black, but varying shades of purple. Just...wow, *__*

Sharp Balaa. Very Sharp. This is exactly the kind of opening shot a TLK movie looks for, needs and wants. Soft colors, pastel mornings, pastel evenings (works for closing shots too) that just gives the picture a touch of "soft reality" before it goes into Cell shading overtime.

Now if they could make the entire film out of these, and drop the cheesy musical sound track....

Oh, sorry, anyway, SHARP picture, and not like cheddar.
