    I'd given up on clouds, but because of your tutorial, I'm going to try again. I was trying too hard to draw what my eye was seeing versus the shading, I was also leaving the paper white where I wanted white, but now I think I'll try this method. I finally understand! Thanks to Lisa's channel for sending me here, Lachrie. You're a great teacher! You should be on her podcast. If ever you do, let me know.

    I studied since 4 years of age. Became professional 48 years ago. The advent of digital-x,y,z, and photo patches kind of broke my heart. Watching a young man who can picture things in his mind, and create a realistic image by hand brings me a good feeling back. That such gifts are NOT being lost to history, & forgotten. Best of luck to you!!

    Thanks for such great detailed instruction. I am NO artist, but I had a dream about clouds that I can't get out of my mind. This video really helped me understand that you have to keep working the layers, and even erasing, to get that nice soft blended look. I appreciate the tips about cross hatching, using the tissue paper, etc. Those are things non-artists wouldn't know. Thank you. This was a great lesson for a beginner.

  • @ubergeraldine

    This is really fantastic! Thankyou! I'm painting cloud and I study them a lot ad this technique is brilliant in analysing the structure - since the platonic solids exist in all nature. Thanks so much for this Ryan.

    • @alephquartz
      @alephquartz 6 років тому +1

      I use a mechanical pencil, where if you use the standard pencil grip/hold, your lines come out to linearly. I can guess he was taught to hold his pencil in a different way to produce the soft and free lines. Even with a mechanical pencil, if I hold my pencil in the same manner he is, I can create the same type of lines.

    The thing that gets me is while drawing from nature, in 3 min or less the cloud is a TOTALLY diff creature. Yre doing it from total imagination yet bc of the structural nature of clouds it really works. Maybe thinking about a method somewhere in between…much thanks!
