Thank you! I spent most of my sky-time on making the upper left corner dark, actually. The rest I just did within a few minutes.

Wow, its great, I'm amazed that you managed clouds! They're something I cant really do in any medium, especially not paint!

Thank you! Clouds are really difficult, but practice and deciding on a method are really the key. I paint skies a lot, so I get a lot of cloud practice. XD;

Practice solves everything! But what method do you do? Do you mean like doing an outline then dark parts or what?

Sorry for not replying sooner! I've tried a lot of methods, actually. When painting on the computer, I usually put the dark part down first then color highlights over it. Here, though, I had to start light then put the dark parts on. I put the shadows on lightly first at random, then saw shapes in the clouds and filled in darker shadows to make them stand out.
Also, I always fill in color on clouds by drawing little circles because it makes them look puffier. :3

No problem ^^ I appreciate your time !
Thanks for the advice, my painting skills suck, although I suppose that I just need to practice to improve :3
