Hey guys I hope you like the tutorial. This is my first flash tutorial so bear with me please! I will be making a more detailed version as soon as I can.
Please leave feedback and also pictures you made using this tutorial! I would like to see what you make!!!
The clouds in this tutorial were actually made with a custom brush in CSP (clip studio paint pro).
However the steps I've showed will work in any program that has a smudge or blur tool and the option to make custom brushes. If you would like to download CSP but have trouble, please note or comment and I would be glad to help you out!!

How can I smudge in SAI?
"I'm a complete novice to custom brushes. As a user of SAI, however, a similar method to smudging which I have trialed is to reduce the opacity of the eraser (I experimented with 77%, which seems to be perfect for me ). You will have to create a new layer to show the light source c:" - Pokemoke

Hi there!! I was inspired by your process for clouds in making this piece. I came up with my own method after seeing yours. Thanks for the inspiration!
thank you so much for this, it really helped me out! I've always sucked at drawing clouds and have never found a good tutorial that described how to draw them in a way that makes sense to me. I'll keep practicing but I'm already drawing clouds MUCH better than I had before.
Thank you, this will be useful for painting clouds multiple times. I'm starting out more simple and less contrasting, and working towards better ones.
thank you so much!!!
oh my god, this is one of the most amazing tut i've ever read. Thank you so much, you help me a lot with this.
T.T I'm so happy ... I can draw clouds now! *dance* ... Thanks for this great tutorial. I use it right now for my next painting. ...... And it really worked quite well, to call them names while drawing *lol*
Don't kill me for asking, I'm having a "slow" day xD But does the PS stand for Paint Studio? like the Windows one?

It´s really easy to understand and the steps are very detailed-
Also the button-thingy is very nice because you don´t always have to move your hands (I know, I´m lazy)
Also the result you have in the end is really pretty.
But It´s a bit harder to draw those clouds that way if you dont´t have photoshop. I tried with PTS and it´s a bit difficult but you still get the idea and you get a similar result if you follow the steps. It´s a very nice tutorial and it was very helpful. Thank you very much!!! O3O
