By popular demand, I'm putting up a cloud tutorial. I'll upload more tutorials later, but for now, here's this
I know the pictures of the steps are a bit small but when I tried to do a bigger version it made CS3 crash XDD If you have questions, feel free to note/comment me and I'll do my best to answer. This is all done in CS3 extended, but you can apply the principle to almost any program. (except MS paint... -shudder-) Enjoy! You can see the full sized finished version of this here: [link] |

Flies spread disease. Remember, zip em up. ):<
Next, take your airbrush tool (or paintbrush with airbrushing capacities turned on), set it at a large brush, or use a wet media brush and paint in with a light greyish blue the rough areas of where your clouds are. Don't use white until you put in your final details, that way it stands out more.
Keep in mind that clouds are mostly shadow, so take a dark greyish blue (or whatever colour you're using for your clouds) and paint almost all of the cloud minus 75% of the edge, except the part that will be in shadow, at a low % opacity. You can either just use a higher % opacity every new coat of shadow you put on (choose a dark colour for the shadow to begin with if you're going to do this), or just choose another darker colour every time and make a small gradient of the shadows, it being darker on the opposite side from your light source.
To get to step 1 I just put a few rough layers of the shadow down, and as you know, got it darker and darker throughout the tutorial. After you get the shadows down, and they can be really rough and stupid looking, smudge them together to make it softer and flowing.
Help any?
