Mess with the watercolor brushes and you should get something that works.

I don't know much about the brushes from there, but as long as you have a brush that blends well and you follow the steps, it should be similar. :'D

First off I would like to applaud your use of colors. Fantastic. You're clouds are simple yet thoroughly effective.  
I've been wanting to try out cloud making for a while and you're tutorial gives me so much inspiration.

I can't find the "stringy-L" brush on sai. Did you download it from somewhere else?

uchuubranko In reply to Zivara [2014-05-14 04:51:31 +0000 UTC]

It should be there from the beginning

Zivara In reply to uchuubranko [2014-05-14 20:05:46 +0000 UTC]

ugh i don't have it D: 
I downloaded a bunch of extra textures and i might've accidentally replaced it

uchuubranko In reply to Zivara [2014-05-14 22:38:21 +0000 UTC]

I don't see how that is possible since they are non-editable, at least in my SAI version

Zivara In reply to uchuubranko [2014-05-14 22:42:52 +0000 UTC]

i went into my blotmap and brushtex folders and they're there, but they just dont show up when I open the app ugh

uchuubranko In reply to Zivara [2014-06-13 00:38:40 +0000 UTC]

Try re-installing it perhaps? I'm so sorry, I couldn't find a fix for this. ):

DanielLongman In reply to Zivara [2014-05-12 15:31:50 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty sure I had it from the beginning, but it is above the texture box, where "(simple circle)", "Fuzystatic", "Bristle", etc are.

uchuubranko In reply to Akatskifairy101 [2014-04-01 14:58:59 +0000 UTC]

- to add more colour, I used the overlay layer
- to add shiny things, I used the addition layer

uchuubranko In reply to Akatskifairy101 [2014-04-01 14:57:12 +0000 UTC]

which layers like how many and-... and what?

I used 1 normal layer for everything in order for my brush to blend well.

uchuubranko In reply to Master-Oresama [2014-03-21 23:47:44 +0000 UTC]

My brushes are default SAI brushes. If you have Paint Tool SAI, you should have everything mentioned here.

Master-Oresama In reply to uchuubranko [2014-03-22 22:31:42 +0000 UTC]

could you tell me or "show" me a picture of your settings. The brushes are awesome. Also, if you have other brushes, could you send me a link as to where you found them? That would be really helpful. Thanks!|

I discovered you by looking for a cloud tutorial and other than your works being absolutely stunning, you have some beautiful clouds here! How long does it take you to do the clouds? For example, how long did it take you to do the first cloud(sunset one) in this tutorial? And thanks for the tutorial!
