this tutorial was PERFECT. I have ADHD so I have a hard time sitting through tutorial videos with super long intros or tedious unnecessary steps to make a video longer, but this was amazing. specific and straight to the point. the visual at the beginning was very helpful too! you earned a sub :)

[@quarteriousrobinson1007]

Yes, indeed, same now I’m going to mix all the techniques together hopefully make a great clouds method I can use for my own art

[@Coinkidoink]

haha, this comment really spoke to me
i just ragequit a like 30 minute tutorial that began with explaining the composition of irl clouds atoms and what not

[@zuzoozuzoozu]

adhd is not a good thing to have when you do art sob 😭😭

[@GeorgeZaharia]

i have to say, this tutorial gave me the start of what i needed, and found my own way because of it of doing clouds. based on the same concept... i draw clouds in circles, like always moving my brush in a circular motion, having 2 base colors close to each other 50% opacity down and just blending in colors to get the shapes i want, is amazing in 5-10 minutes u get a huge area done pretty fast.

[@dustie7676]

Thanks for the tutorial! A guide on how you draw water would be awesome :)

[@TheAsylumchild]

Quick run down: Draw a shape (tear drop and a trail) in a dark color. Paint inside of the shape a lighter color (the inner highlight) but keeping the darker on the outer edges (to show roundness), and then add an almost white small highlight to show "shininess". You can enhance the "wet" feel on skin or another surface by changing the layer to multiply or soft light (whichever works for you) and change the opacity down to like 80%. It would probably be easier to show but this is the text explaination.

[@VERTIGRIS]

Water tutorial is noted. Thank you!

[@Fredable0]

This was really helpful, I've joined a cloud studies clhallenge in a discord server but I had no understanding of how to paint clouds, this helped a lot

[@jameykeys1]

Wonderful video. I love the way you superimposed the spheres and kept referring to them. I also like your methodology - meaning, you stayed on the topic with no silly banter. How refreshing!

[@itooo3156]

Reminds me of when I was younger, the way I’d do it was that I’d take a coin and draw circles tracing around them to make clouds 😂
