Haha, thank you! Generally the lighting should have the same idea so you're right of say :3c
The brushes just make it much easier to texture the clouds and shading hehe

I don't use SAI, but this should still prove helpful when making clouds.

And this'll definitely help those that do- ' v' b

Clouds of this kind usually look like this-- or at least follow this sort of lighting principle? 
Or well, that's how I do cloudssss ' 7'
The idea is just clumping it together, so yup yup.

Thanke ' v'
