Description A gazillion years ago someone requested this tut... Sorry it took so long. You probably don't need it anymore. orz;; (And I was too lazy to make one for sea/water too, sorry ||orz)


Just a quick and easy way of painting clouds, to slap on as a background on your art to fill up space 8D;

This was done in PS, but can be easily used for SAI or whatever, as long as you can switch between a hard edge and a soft edge brush. You will however, need a tablet with pen pressure.

HOWEVER SOME PEOPLE DON'T READ.
I WROTE:

This is in no way what clouds even look like so don't try this tut if you wanna paint some real shiz 'kay.
Stop telling me it's not realistic. =.= I ALREADY SAID SO MYSELF. Look now I blew the size up for all you blind folks out there.

IF YOU WANTED A REALISTIC CLOUD THE TITLE OF THIS TUT SHOULD'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU OTHERWISE.

HINT: It doesn't say, "FUCKING REALISTIC PAINT LIKE A PRO CLOUD TUT". ^_^*

If outdoors, you can always use some cloud backgrounds. Thanks for posting this.

hmm the technique seems nice, but the effect seems to be a bit lacking something... first of all, I never saw clouds being like this irl - you can definatelly tell where which cloud starts and where which ends, awhile irl it's either one huge cloud you can't find beginning of, or many small clouds which you can have hard time telling which starts where and so on, or you don't see any clouds at all... at this work I can see you made the clouds very well-looking but doesn't match irl effect... if I were you I'd add "fog" effect around the clouds with huge area but small opacity and coverage - that would make it more realistic
