2D Clouds Painting

[Azigoth]

This is some birthday gift I am working on..and here are the first 2 tests..
I would appreciate comments and some help (I am no master on this)

The final work will be printed on frame.. and one of the problems is that I don't really know how do I have to work in order to print it..if anyone could help me..

Made with Adobe Photoshop with the help of a wacom tablet

I would put some shading on the clouds to give them some body and mass, in a color other than that of the background sky. If it were me I'd do it in a light bluish grey, but that's your decision. As they are now, these clouds aren't quite the massive kind that would have shading on them, nor are they shadowlessly diaphanous, like cirrus clouds, so they're neither fish nor fowl. Their shapes and density suggest they would be of the first kind. You could also concentrate a higher degree of whiteness on upper, highlighted areas to give them more three-dimensionality. They should really have much of the modeling of an opaque object, just not quite so distinct nor solid. The shading could also help define which clouds are in a plane nearer to the viewer than those further back, with the dark underbelly of a more distant cloud serving as a backdrop for the bright upper edge of one to the foreground. The varying degrees of outline fluffiness seem to me about right as they are, though you could noodle around with that a little more.

like tool use normal brush (try modify spacing), with scattering (play with scatter and count)

start with large size and hardness 0% and modelate clouds.
to make outline of clouds there use more hardness.
