This tutorial will attempt to explain how to get realistic (or at least surreal) looking cloud formations in Photoshop 6 (and up to cs version)
ON CLOUDS…
No two clouds are alike in nature..it is impossible to find symetrical patterns in swirling gases.
Luckily, Photoshop has the means to re-create a natural look.
With the right combination of brushes, selections, filters and layers..anything can be possible.
The key is to learn some technique…then experiment and modify..there is plenty of room for variation.
Also, pay attention to clouds whenever you see them…see how they move..how light affects them..colors..ect.
The brain will register the information if one pays attention…details never noticed before will start appearing..
Kind of like Zen Buddism.
