Haven't been posting anything in a long time so here's a 15min phone doodle I did a couple of minutes ago.

i wish i could learn to draw clouds like that, with a tutorial.. i know i cant so i wont ask for ya to make one but sure would be cool if it was that easy.

Just one question tho how do you start ur cloud shapes? do you lay down one solid color n then bring in highlights?

btw awesome cloud drawing

Very luminous. Nice work.

Well, thanks for the feedback, I'll try to explain the quick method I used with this one...

First, I make the background; I pick two blues (or reds, if you want it to make Martian sky but anyway) and Linear Gradient Tool. The rest is self-explanatory in this step.

Second, I create new layer, pick Airbrush and make a rough basic shapes of the clouds. I make the colour about 50%-100% (255,255,255) white.

Third, enter Smudge Tool and custom brushes. Experimenting with different strokes eventually does it.

it amazes me, how much somethimg that simple
could be so deep. Eveyone who looks at it feels something different.......

Nice work Sarge!

What I like about clouds in a summer day is that they are big,bumpy and white...
now your clouds look like from a windy day,
there's nothing wrong in it, but except I
want those big, bumpy and white clouds

.

heh, anyways have sunny summer.
(with big, bumpy....ok, Ill stop now!)

Wow, deepful thoughts. Thanks Ax0, but I have a hunch it's going to be cold and rainy summer. j/k - it's always sunny here in southeast-Finland.

Anyway, here's another doodle (apx. 15min).

Hey, nice clouds, they have got some nice form... Cumulus? looks likely...

It's always great to know how other ppl do things, If not for emulation, then as inspiration. Open's my eyes whenever I learn new things, think of what I could do now!? hehe..

Balistic: Nice signature.. LOL

.. he is being used for a quote.. haha quite funny.

Ax0: Like your sig too, funny. Tis true.. gotta worry, maybe the next generation will give birth to mutants, too much radiation?

Staff: Man, if u keep doing those cool
sky clouds, things are going to get very
foggy in here. (barely could read this post)

. Anyways nice work. Maybe You
should do a mountain and clouds covering
it up.

Collosimo: Yeah! My monitors (yes, I have 2
monitors runnin' in here. Cool isn't) are
allready glowing that strange green light!
Should i be worried? (what me worry?)
