Description Yes, I just whipped this up while I was doodling some clouds.. Then I was like, woah, I'll make a tutorial out of it. This tutorial is meant for people who want to make a 10 second background look decent. xD; It took me less then a minute to doodle these clouds up once I found the brush settings. Ummmm, yea. Sorry that I only made it for tablet users. D: I didn't have time to write a tutorial to make clouds with the mouse. Try just changing the size of your mouse and the flow %. It may do something helpful. I'm just here to help. If you have any questions about anything, just ask. I love helping people!

Woah, one thing is you have the dual brush on, which you shouldn't. Second, there are a few changes in the paint brush 'shape dynamics' settings. if you screen shot that for me, i could help more. i ont have photoshop in front of me. xD

Lotusdatasept In reply to kaykaykit [2006-03-07 23:44:29 +0000 UTC]

kaykaykit In reply to Lotusdatasept [2006-03-08 01:10:26 +0000 UTC]

I told you I can't right now, because my computer is dead (the one with photoshop on it). Check out my website for other screen shots of paint brush settings.. That's all I can suggest right now.

Well, I already have an underwater tutorial. Do you mean like water waves? Or do you mean just simply relfections off water?

All you have to do is duplicate your image, flip it (horizontal), then make its transparency less.

Cool tutorial.

Just a heads up, but if you click on "Brush Tip Shape" and slide the Spacing slider down to 1% it should get rid of those ugly edges you pointed out and make the brush smoother overall. I hope that's helpful, sorry if you already knew this.

How do you do it with a mouse?

kaykaykit In reply to deadduckjohn [2006-03-05 16:49:52 +0000 UTC]

Like I said in the tutorial, I don't have enough space there to do it... nor the time, lol. But I would suggest just easing up on the flow and making the brush smaller as you go into the distance.

kaykaykit In reply to jason77 [2006-03-05 16:54:31 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I also have another way of making clouds, but the reason this one has so many favourites is because it's quick and easy.

So I'm downloading it.
But it's taking fooooooorever.

Yay!!
Excellent tutorial though.
Now I officially know how to do one thing.

and if you at another ten seconds they would actuary, look good....
nah in some cases this stadium is ok but I donΒ΄t think this clouds fit alot of situations. They are like the third of 4-5 steps.
