Description This is only how I draw clouds. I do not claim that this is the right or only way to draw clouds.

My third tutorial!
This was made in photoshop elements, but should work in any program, with appropriate adjustments.

Thanks for reading, and comments are greatly appreciated!

TakenFlyght In reply to MissLunaRose [2011-07-04 21:10:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! And I'm sure it can work in just about any program that you can use some sort of rough brush (I even tested it with the airbrush on paint XD )
