    I've watched a few cloud tutorials today and this is by far the best one. I appreciate you explaining your thought process instead of just painting random scribbles and expecting the viewer to be able to follow, like the other "tutorials". Thank you sir!

    Finally getting around to watching this tutorial and its been extremely helpful to at least be able to understand the things I've been applying to my paintings. The final picture in the end is gorgeous, but if I had any suggestions for further tutorials I'd love to see one on rendering water and oceans.

    I loved the way you deconstructed these clouds into basic shapes. Much better than someone showing you how they paint clouds. Actually showing someone how to study clouds and light. Great tutorial!

    thanks, your approach to the subject really helped me out, and made me realize I was complicating myself, making the newbie mistake to go too fast for details instead of constructing a solid base with basic shapes I could deconstruct after ;3

    Good tutorial. For part 2 you should cover subsurface scattering, and how that would make the shadow side lighter.

    Thank you for this excellent demonstration! I draw way too little, and do it with pixels on old formats like for Commodore 64 or Amiga, but know just too little of real painting and demos like this are always such eye-openers. Like: I see all of this, but didn’t reach those conclusions you reached. Valuable lesson!

    Hello! I know this tutorial is quite a bit older now, but it's still the best cloud lesson out there 🙏Thank you!!
    I followed along, and did get a bit stuck on theory- at around 6:30 , when you add warm grey to the shadow side 'from the atmosphere' - what does that mean? It doesn't seem you are reflecting the more saturated sky, since that would be more blue?? and I am also not clear why the fill light is darker than the terminator shadow. I'm not understanding the logic to be able to apply it with intention, but I DEF find without that warmer grey you add, my colors are MUCH worse.
    If you have time for clarification, I'd be very grateful!

    • @alexarockman3999

      Oop google science said: density + subsurface light scatter. I will try to use that to figure it out!

  • @rogerstich7603
    @rogerstich7603 4 роки тому

    very nice breakdown.
    Just stumbled across your sentence that you have a few years sculpting with clay as a background which makes understanding form easier.
    I would suggest to start modelling in 3D as another way to learn more about forms and get a feel for it.
    With Blender and tons of Tutorials its very easy to get into that. You dont have to be a Master and get hired by Pixar, just try it and Model and Sculpt something there.
    It will help, i can tell from experience.

  • @Sunila_DragonladyCH
    @Sunila_DragonladyCH 6 років тому +2

    This is very interesting. My big struggle is to achieve this with cross hatching. I've looked at hundreds of samples of other artists but never felt really comfortable drawing clouds.

    • @phipsart6424
      @phipsart6424 4 роки тому

      if you hatch it may be hard to go below a certain value. and clouds mostly are very bright. if you then insist on cross hatching you maybe cant help to overshoot the value. maybe that is the reason why it doesnt work as well

    @andre.conceptart 6 років тому +1

    I'm not sure if you can cover this or not. But sometimes I see very small, sparse and thin clouds in the sky. They are a bit hard for me because I feel like I can't always show distance decently while I want to give the sky some interest without populating it too much with big clouds. Anyway thanks for the video man! Really awesome instruction! Keep it up!

    Hi! First things first, you ROCK!!!!! thank you for these videos man.
    I would like to hear about how they light affects multiple clouds, egg.: if there are a few clouds lined up against a source light how would the light change and affect them. Would the cloud's inside absorb or reflect the light? Would it create some sort of "caustic" patterns of light and shadow on the other clouds?
    thanx in advance man!

      @ivanlagrossemoule 6 років тому +1

      Hope this doesn't come too late, but you need to use a really soft brush and soften some of the edges. The thinner parts should have some transparency and have some of the blue sky show through.
