Description Status: First Tutorial!
Programs: Photoshop & Paint Tool Sai.

So I recently posted a picture of a couple of CG clouds and few people sent me notes asking how it was done...

Q&A
Q: How many layers do I need to create?
A: This was all done on one layer!

Q: What colours did you use to do the actual cloud?
A: White. Only white.

Q: Did you use a graphics tablet?
A: No I used my laptops mouse, but I'm sure it would work using both.

I'm having problems with the watercolor tool, it's not blending my clouds, it's just coloring it.

Is this just the brush tool or does it have a texture set for it?
