Artist:
Dawn
/ January 7, 2009

Before you start your lesson I want to show you what your work station should look like in Photoshop CS3 before you start drawing and coloring clouds. As you can see your workspace should look like this and I explain in detail what the tools are that
we will be using. All you have to do is enlarge the step and see for yourself. The images in the steps pretty much explain themselves.

Look at that you are already almost done. As you can see by this image step your clouds are formed in a direction that you brush them on. What you want to do next is use a smaller brush at the same setting. Start brushing on more cloud detail and thi
s will fill up or fluff up your clouds to a consistency that you are happy with.
