Description Please check out the new and improved Cloud Tutorial version 2!   





Hey guys I hope you like the tutorial. This is my first flash tutorial so bear with me please! I will be making a more detailed version as soon as I can.

Please leave feedback and also pictures you made using this tutorial! I would like to see what you make!!!


The clouds in this tutorial were actually made with a custom brush in CSP (clip studio paint pro).
However the steps I've showed will work in any program that has a smudge or blur tool and the option to make custom brushes. If you would like to download CSP but have trouble, please note or comment and I would be glad to help you out!!

How can I smudge in SAI?
"I'm a complete novice to custom brushes. As a user of SAI, however, a similar method to smudging which I have trialed is to reduce the opacity of the eraser (I experimented with 77%, which seems to be perfect for me ). You will have to create a new layer to show the light source c:" - Pokemoke

Thank you so much, there have been so many tutorial that have confused me, and I could never get my clouds right. Now my clouds look top notch, and it is so easy and simple to do. I also discovered that I could make custom brushes on Sketch Book Pro, your tutorial giving me the need to look for them. Thank you so much, I look forward to your future tutorials!
