How to paint clouds digital
These clouds are hand-drawn using some graphic tablet and probably photoshop to paint digital clouds. It could be painted on traditional media. But I highly doubt it. I’d not make these using vector graphics, maybe only some sort of prefabricating before tweaking it in photoshop by brushes, but that’s overkill. Grab a tablet and learn basics about how to paint digitally.
Step 1.
Create a new layer and paint clouds a value that is slightly lighter and less saturated than the lightest sky color with a sharp-edged brush. At the bottom, darken it slightly.
Step 2.
Switch on ‘Preserve Transparency’ for the sheet and use the airbrush to paint full white. Vary the brush size a great deal. The aim is to achieve a ‘cauliflower’ appearance.
Step 3.
Then, as on the right, apply a new layer and paint the original cloud color with a completely opaque sharp-edged brush. This cycle should be repeated until the entire cloud region has been filled. Keep in mind that the edges of each layer should be closer together at first, then more widely spaced as you progress.
