Now you can stop here or continue down for how i do my clouds
.

.First i start with my image coloured, i do this because i find it easier but do be careful with your blender later on.

 1.I use my CLOUD BLUE FLEXMARKER to freehand draw my clouds.

2.I now go inside the cloud with my BLUE GREY 3 FLEXMARKER to give a bit of depth.

 3.Then BLUE GREY 1 FLEXMARKER to blend out the darker grey a little and to add a little more detail.

 4,I then use my GLACIER BLUE FLEXMARKER and give it a couple of layers all over but not inside the clouds.

 5.Then i use my BLENDER all around the inside edges of my clouds using circular movements.

6.Finally i use a white gel pen just to draw freehand again around the cloud edge.hopefully you can just tell by this really bad pic.

And thats it, simples.Of course you can always do your clouds before you colour your image, i just prefer to do it the other way round.lol.
Thanks so much for popping by, means a lot :D
