Cloudy Day


This previous project gave me trouble, but not as much trouble as the clouds. The idea I had for them was to make it look like those really pretty clouds at around dusk or twilight when they're reflecting the sunlight off of them (which actually isn't a natural occurrence but I won't delve into that at the moment). The brush i was using at first i thought was the right kind, which did allow me to get the right colors but I could never get the right shape with it. I kept trying and trying with different techniques and combination of brushes for days on end but I just couldn't get the right look.

I was on the verge of a breakdown. I was looking at Yuumei's dA gallery for updates on those Axent Headphones I've been waiting to come out, and i found just what I need, a tutorial! Which conveniently came with the right brushes I needed. I followed as closely as i could and the clouds themselves turned out great which really brought the whole piece together! But for the goal I had in mind... I'm not sure I would've been able to get it rightif I had even a whole month to work on it...
