Description
People often comment and ask me how I do my backgrounds. I've tried explaining it a couple of times so I decided to do a simple background tutorial. this time, CLOUDS! Maybe I'll do another one if people find this helpful.Backgrounds don't need to be overly complicated, especially if you're just doing a headshot or simple sketch. You can overlay hand drawn sketches in photoshop or another digital drawing program, but make the bagckground fit the sketch. If you used soft colours then don't use as bold a blue.

Advice, clouds are flatter on the bottom so it's best if you don't go too fluffy all the time. (even though I wuv fluff)

What art thing did you use? (Because I have MS Paint and it doesn't have the 'blur' tool. SO maybe I could find a thing that does.)

There's no blur in MS Pain. You can either use:
Photoshop (DEFINITELY has one)
Gimp
SAI

When you click on download image and see it in it's original size, the example images are all their original size, it wasn't a very large canvas but I've down a fair bit of experimenting in photo shop and paint shop pro and it works even in really large scale and small scale drawings.
