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

Wonderful! I must try this asap, I especially appreciate the depth of custom brush explanation (even though I already know that, it's something that I wish had been pointed out to me earlier) and most of all the examples of the light source directions, it sometimes seems simple enough to say, it's coming from the right, but it's another huge help to have a visual cue that shows you it from different directions, especially on something like clouds, where the light can behave a little differently than the usual stuff

Yes, you are completely totally right about the hue issue. I will definitely address that in my next, more detailed tutorial. Thanks for pointing that out!

You're welcome, I just really like it when people talk about hue shifting, because I went for so long not knowing about it and then not understanding it, before I finally understood it, and it made such a big difference
