A soft, airy cloud brush designed for quick sky rendering and atmospheric depth. Perfect for backgrounds, cinematic landscapes, and minimalistic scenes. The textured edges create natural-looking clouds with subtle grain, helping your skies feel organic and dynamic without overworking details.
This tool is best for: background skies, fantasy and epic landscapes, minimalist composition, adding depth and atmosphere, mist, fog, or soft smoke effects.
How to Use:
(From the beginning I will say blending actually creates the effect I wanted to achieve with this tool. I think this tool will rly help you add more expressivity to your work, if you follow the steps I added below.)
1.Base Layer:
Start with a flat sky gradient (light to dark for better depth).
2.Build Clouds Slowly:
Use light pressure (or lower opacity 30–60%) and tap gently to layer clouds gradually.
3.Scale & Rotate:
Adjust brush size to create variation. Flip or rotate the canvas to avoid repeating shapes.
4.Add Depth:
Use a lighter color for top highlights.
Use a slightly darker tone underneath for shadow and volume.
5.Blend (this is the most important):
Lightly erase or blend edges for softer, more distant clouds. The more you blend( also focus on the edges) the better the effect.
6.Extra Effects:
Works great with Overlay or Add (Glow) layer modes for dramatic sunsets or magical skies.
