Cloud Tutorial by birdy

Here is a simple cloud tutorial based on how I do clouds. Requested by a bunch of people.

First of all, i'm sorry about all the spelling mistakes. I didn't notice in time. Hahaha.

You can use the same method in sunset paintings. Start with the base sky color and use lighter versions of it for clouds. Orange to Yellow-Orange to Yellow (pinks/purples whatever you like)

I hope this is somewhat helpful to somebody.

The clouds look really real!

To blend, lower the opacity of your brush. You can also use up and down on the d-pad for pressure.
