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!

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in blender.

If youre using clip studio paint, instead of the 'smudge' you can use the 'finger tip' tool.

Thanks for the tutorial!! I always had a problem determining the light source ^^

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.

kyah thank you! i will try to give you the work i did with this tutorial.
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.
tnx helpt me a lot although i didn't have all the tools
