      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.

      until you get this

      upload_2017-8-20_17-45-29.png

      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
