    i've only had like one or two tracks with actual clouds in it because I CANT DRAW CLOUDS. it either looks too cartoony or not even close to what a cloud looks like. I need pro tips and tricks on ways 2 draw clouds because i've given up on doing it myself about 7 years ago

    i recommend using a drawing pad or sketch then transferring it over to frhd it helps a lot with detail i have recently used it for a project and it worked well ask charlezard or mudkip for what they use because i dont know what its called but it good

    *denser clouds could work for overcast
    *linear clouds could work for weather fronts

    It depends on what you're going for.

    If you are doing something complex [Real Life Looking] then do what mudkip did.

    If you want something more simple then I would use the black line and make a thick outline and then use the scenery line to partially shade.

    extremely simple cartoon stratus cloud alternative

    spam the curve tool like this

    until you get this

    then use curve tool again to double line and add random spots where the cloud should have depth

    upload_2017-8-20_17-50-54.png

    voila quicky cloud

    will add a more complex cloud maybe

    here is another moronically simple way to draw a cloud i will just call it the "brush top"

    basically you just scribble bubbles on top of a curved line, but for informative purposes i would use the curve tool as i did, then you just double line the bottom

    thank you to all that replied but all those styles don't really fit into my track, i still don't find those styles super realistic, although they are cool :cool::thumbsup:

    this is how i do clouds
    super brushy

    the trick is make clusters of clouds with multiple layers and different patterns
