Realistic Clouds

10. Use the lasso tool to make a selection on the bottom of the clouds.

Apply these settings

sf 3 Realistic Clouds

Not bad..But draw another selection, and apply the same settings

sf 4 Realistic Clouds

That’s better…but way more to go…especially with color..
Everything still has an ’unfinished’ look

This is the end of part 2…..Part 3 is already in the process, and there may be a fourth part.
As previously mentioned…I am making this up as I go along…so I am not really sure what the final result will be.

I have been going as carefully as possible, so artists of all levels can understand the process. It makes the tutorials rather large, but that is unavoidable.
I hope you have fun on the ride.

If you want to take a look at some highly experimental art I have dabbled in that include some of these techniques, go to
