Also if you scroll down to the left you can see other options such as line drawing and black and white, this gives more examples of them. Some times just the outline shape and a few subtle curved lines can be very effective. | ||

As the previous poster suggested studying cloud images and drawing techniques can help you to get a feeling for creating the general shape and volume/body of Cumulus clouds. Remember that clouds are about what you omit as much as the background that you fill in. I am not sure what sort of burner you are using, but regardless of the type (wire or point) you will want low temperatures to build a very steady and even layering of hues as you burn in the details. Hope that this helps. I have some clouds visible among my Orcas in the Fjord burn, and of course many other artists here have excellent examples of clouds with which you can study and replicate their general techniques. Good luck with your project. Cheers! - Erik [ Edited Fri Nov 09 2012, 11:17PM ] | ||
