How to Draw a Cloud

How to Draw a Cloud

In case you were here by accident, this tutorial is not on how to draw Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7… though I do have drawing tutorials on how to draw Cloud. This tutorial lesson is on How to draw a cloud in a cartoon style. I also have a tutorial on how to draw clouds realisticlally. This picture is quick and easy to do. In fact I would rate it at the beginner level, perfect for kids to learn to draw… and anyone else. Have fun drawing this : )

Step 1
Start with the typical bump bump, bump, bump, outline for the cloud (you don’t actually have to say it while you draw… but it’s more fun that way : ) ) Colour in your cloud with the paint bucket tool and now you have your basic cloud.

Step 2
To make the basic cloud more interesting and to give it a 3d look, add shadows and highlights with the airbrush tool. The highlights are in transparent white and the shadows a dark transparent blue.
